Bamboo chopsticks are harmless, environmentally friendly and cheap, so they are the first choice. Good quality bamboo chopsticks will not deform at high temperature. Wooden chopsticks are the most common, and there are many varieties, such as mahogany, nanmu, jujube, holly, etc., which can all be used as chopsticks, and ebony chopsticks with hard texture are the most valuable. However, bamboo chopsticks and wooden chopsticks are easy to be infected with microorganisms and bacteria, so we should pay attention to frequent disinfection and keep them clean.
The second choice: natural wooden chopsticks. Many chopsticks are made of wood. Are they all wooden chopsticks? Can I use them all? Of course not. I recommend natural wooden chopsticks. On the contrary, those wooden chopsticks painted with colored paint are the least recommended.
Precautions for using chopsticks:
Shelf life of chopsticks: 3 ~ 6 months. The shelf life of common wooden chopsticks and bamboo chopsticks on the market is generally 3 ~ 6 months, while ceramic chopsticks and metal chopsticks can be used for a longer time. However, chopsticks will deteriorate even if they are not used for a long time if they are placed in a dark and humid environment.
Especially wooden chopsticks and bamboo chopsticks, once they are wet, mildew spots will appear. I wonder how many people have this habit. Washing chopsticks is a kind of "rubbing", which is convenient and easy. But in fact, this is wrong. This practice will make chopsticks scratch, especially wooden chopsticks and bamboo chopsticks, which are easy to remain and breed microorganisms.
