About Totally Bamboo
Totally Bamboo has made bamboo kitchenware for years, and the Kona Groove is a big 18 by 12.5 inch carving board with a wide juice groove around the rim. The brand states its boards are laminated with a food-safe glue and finished with mineral oil after they are made. Bamboo is a fast-growing grass that regrows from its roots after harvest, which is part of its appeal. Where the disclosure stops short is on the glue: the brand says food-safe but does not state that the adhesive is formaldehyde-free, and it does not carry an FSC certification or state a country of origin. It is one of the more affordable boards in this list.
