Wood is not only elegant, natural, environmentally friendly material, it is also best for the practical purposes as it is very durable and very strong. Wood also helps you to safeguard your knives from damages. As you cut on a wooden cutting board, the wood fibers break and leave a mark. And this helps to prevent the fine edges of your knives from rolling over and turning dull.
Wood is great as cutting board material because it is naturally resistant to bacteria. An interesting study was conducted at the University of Wisconsin, as they tested Salmonella bacteria, known for spreading the food poisoning. The bacteria were placed on cutting boards made from various species of trees and four types of plastic. As a result, scientists found that three minutes after contaminating a board that 99.9% of the Salmonella on wooden boards had died, while, none of the bacteria on a plastic surface experienced any discomfort.
The study revealed that people using wooden cutting boards in their home kitchens are twice less likely to contract bacterial-caused illnesses, than those who use glass of plastic cutting boards.
