How are they made?
Our Bamboo Straws are 100% handmade in Bali by Wayan and Gitok, as well as by Srii and Budi. The bamboo we use has been sustainably harvested without any type of chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers. Bamboo doesn’t need any type of irrigation and it’s considered the most sustainable plant on Earth. It can grow up to 1m per day depending on the species.
When we turn the bamboo into straws we only cut the top of the stems we want to use, this leaves the plant to grow healthy and strong without affecting the ecosystem at all. We first dry the stems under the hot Balinese sun for around 20 days, and once they’re dry we turn them into bamboo straws. We first cut them by hand to a size of 20cm (8 inches). We then boil them for 30 minutes, polish them (naturally, without any chemicals) and then we boil them for 30 minutes again. We then let them sit under the sun until they’re completely dry before we pack them in our recycled carton packs.
Each straw goes through a 4-stage quality control process, this process allows us to guarantee that no straw will be broken, or dirty, but also that they won’t have multiple black spots caused by mold or humidity, and most importantly, that they don’t have any bugs. That is why at Bali Boo we guarantee our straws are the best quality bamboo straws you will find.

Care Instructions
Using your Bamboo Straws
Use your bamboo straws with every type of drink – from smoothies and cocktails to coconuts, sodas, and ice-teas. All you have to do is put it in your drink, and sip away. They are reusable; so don’t forget to take them with you wherever you go in the pouch provided and save the planet one drink at a time by refusing any type of single-use straws.
Cleaning your Bamboo Straws
After each use, rinse the straws with water and clean them on the inside with the brushes provided. They are also dishwasher safe ( remember to switch off the hot & dry function). Every few uses, we recommend you boil them in water with a bit of vinegar to completely disinfect them. But don’t forget to dry them immediately after, to keep them in tip-top condition.
Disposing of your Bamboo Straws
Our Bamboo Straws are sustainable and 100% biodegradable. When you think they’ve come to the end of their life, throw them in your compost bin or reuse them in as many ways as you can imagine. We’d love to see what you come up with, so don’t forget to share your creations with us!
FAQ's
• Are Coconut Bowls safe?
The coconut bowls of Bali Boo are 100% safe for consumption with food. They have been sanded and polished inside and outside with virgin coconut oil, which is edible too.
• Are coconut bowls hygienic?
Of course! As with everything, it depends on how you take care of your things. If you keep them clean and wash them after every use, 100% yes. They’re very easy to clean too!
• Are Coconut Bowls Reusable?
Yes! Coconut bowls are reusable, with the correct care, they will last you a very long time!
• Are Coconut Bowls Biodegradable / Compostable?
Yes! Our coconut bowls are 100% biodegradable. When they reach the end of their life (if they do), you can easily compost them and they will biodegrade in no time!
• Do Coconut Bowls absorb/release any flavor from/into foods?
No! Coconut bowls do not release or absorb any type of flavor. Just make sure you clean them properly after every meal.
•What is the size range of Coconut Bowls?
Being a natural product, diameters vary, the Bali Boo coconut bowls are around 13-16 cm in diameter, and around 7-9cm in height. The inside part of the coconut is around 5-10mm smaller than each dimension.
• How long do coconut bowls last?
With the correct care, coconut bowls can last a lifetime! Learn how to take care of them by checking out the “Care Instructions” tab.
• How to clean a coconut bowl?
We recommend cleaning your coconut bowls by hand as you would with any other type of big dish or pan. A bit of soap, some hot water, and get into the scrubbing. To keep them in tip-top condition we always recommend to coat them with a bit of olive oil, coconut oil, or any other vegetable cooking oil. Let to dry, and they’ll be ready for use in no time.
• Are coconut bowls dishwasher safe?
We do not recommend putting coconut bowls in the dishwasher as the heat transmission is normally too strong and might crack them. To wash them properly it’s best to do it by hand.
• Are coconut bowls microwaveable/oven safe/freezer safe?
No, we don’t recommend putting your coconut bowls in a microwave, oven or freezer. The main reason is the temperature exchange, natural products don’t like extreme temperatures and putting them suddenly into very high, or very low temperatures, can cause them to crack.
• Can I put hot food in a coconut bowl?
When eating hot food, we recommend you always heat up the coconut bowl a bit before. Put it under lukewarm water, or heat it up with your hands by rubbing it a bit before. The main reason is the heat exchange might crack the coconut bowl. If the coconut bowl is in a cold or room temperature environment, and you suddenly put very hot food into it, the heat exchange will cause it to crack. If, on the other hand, you warm it up a bit before, the heat exchange won’t be so high, and it should be ok. You can either do this or just let your food cool down a bit. And if you do both, you most certainly won’t have any problems.
• Are coconut bowls child-safe?
Yes! Coconut bowls are probably the best eco-friendly option for your child. They are very resistant and durable so they are perfect for children.
• What are coconut bowls made of?
Bali Boo coconut bowls are 100% made of discarded natural coconut shells that are a byproduct of the coconut industry, which uses the meat and husk for food, cosmetics, or as biofuel. If you’d like to learn more, we recommend you visit our How to make Coconut Bowls page.
• Are coconut bowls eco-friendly / are coconut bowls good for the environment?
Coconut bowls are super eco-friendly. We use discarded coconuts, that would otherwise be burnt and would release a lot of CO2 into our atmosphere. The process of making them is also environmentally friendly, as it doesn’t make use of heavy machinery or chemicals.

Mery –
Love these straws! They come in different widths, which is great to drink basically anything, and the fact that they come with 2 different cleaners is perfect. The carry pouch is super nice too, and makes it super convenient to carry around. No more plastic straws for me!
