Can I eat out of teak bowls?
Whether or not you can eat out of teak bowls depends on the bowls in question. Natural teak is usually food safe, provided that you season it with food-grade mineral oil or other food-safe wood treatment prior to use. Some teak bowls may feature toxic finishes and be unsafe for food. Find a variety of teak bowls on 1stDibs.
