Bamboo Charcoal

About 20 years ago, researchers in Japan burned bamboo at high temperatures to create bamboo charcoal, which exhibited properties vastly different from the bamboo plant, including a high density and porous structure.

Called Takesumi or Chikutan in Japanese, bamboo charcoal also has high mineral content such as calcium, potassium, sodium and iron. Over the years, many uses have been created for household to bedding and personal care.

Bamboo Charcoal slices are able to absorb harmful chemicals like chlorine, pesticides in the water and at the same time diffuse more natural minerals like calcium sodium, magnesium and gallium that help to purify the water. Adding a bamboo charcoal into water, rice, soup does help to enhance the food to taste better and healthier.

One box contains 5-6 pieces. Each piece weighs around 15-20 grams. The Bamboo Charcoal can last for 3 months. It can be used for cooking rice, soup and boiling water. Bamboo Charcoal can also help to balance the pH value of water and extend water life span in fish tanks or act as fertilizer for plants.
