The Natural Antimicrobial Power of Wood: Keeping Your Kitchen Safe

When it comes to food safety, your cutting board plays a crucial role. Many people assume that plastic is the most hygienic choice, but studies have shown that premium hardwood cutting boards, like those from Kong Boards, have natural antimicrobial properties that help keep your family safe.

How Wood Fights Bacteria

Hardwood, such as maple and walnut, has a unique ability to trap and kill bacteria. Unlike plastic boards, which develop deep grooves where bacteria can thrive, wood absorbs moisture from the surface, drawing bacteria into its fibers. Once inside, bacteria become trapped and die off naturally over time.

Why Choose a Hardwood Cutting Board?

Naturally Antimicrobial: Unlike plastic, which can harbor bacteria in scratches, wood actively reduces bacterial growth.

No Harmful Chemicals: Many plastic boards require chemical treatments to stay sanitary, while wood is naturally safe.

Sustainable & Durable: Our heirloom-quality Kong Boards are handcrafted from sustainably sourced American hardwoods, ensuring longevity and performance.
