Steel chopsticks are clean and reduce tree felling, why are Chinese rarely used?

Chinese culture is broad and profound, just from the diet of Chinese can be seen, how strong the wisdom and spirit of the older generation of China, whether it is Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine or Lu cuisine, any one of the eight major cuisines is a wide variety, the variety of dishes can be thousands, not to mention many other cuisines, which also attracts the attention of many foreigners, have come to China to taste food.

They just came to China and encountered a big problem, that is, chopsticks, as we all know, Western countries tableware are mainly knives and forks, so they are not used to it is normal, China's chopsticks are also divided into many kinds, plastic, metal and wooden, but in most places are used wooden chopsticks, then foreigners have raised questions: steel chopsticks are clean and can reduce tree felling to protect the environment, why Chinese rarely use?

Some foreigners said that Chinese have always used chopsticks, so a large number of trees will be cut down every year, which will cause a global environmental crisis. But such a statement was quickly rejected by Chinese netizens, because the wooden chopsticks used in China are not made of trees, they are made of bamboo, we all know that bamboo is a plant with strong vitality and fast growth rate, which can fully meet the raw materials of Chinese chopsticks**, and will not cause any impact on the environment.

And the steel chopsticks mentioned by the foreign population are not used by the Chinese, but they are rarely used, because the sound of steel chopsticks in daily use is very loud, and because of the material, the heat conduction is very fast, and it is not easy to cool, often will be burned to the hand, the important thing is that it is very inconvenient to use, we use it to powder or balls when it is very difficult, but wooden chopsticks do not have these problems.

And most importantly, about the environment, our wooden chopsticks are made of bamboo, which does not affect the environment, but what about steel chopsticks? It's the process of making it that really causes pollution, and it's an industrial pollution, so it's one of the reasons why people generally give up on steel chopsticks.

Compared with wooden chopsticks, steel chopsticks are very loud in daily use, and its thermal conductivity is very fast, and it is not easy to cool, so the use of steel chopsticks will often burn your hands, and it is very inconvenient to use it in general. And when we use it to hold powder or meatballs, it will be very slippery, and we can't hold it at all, but wooden chopsticks do not have these problems.

Because steel chopsticks have no texture, steel chopsticks are more slippery and not as light as wooden chopsticks.

Because the weight of steel chopsticks is relatively heavy, and it is not a one-time cleaning every time, and the cost is high, so Chinese rarely use it.

Now we have long been aware of the necessity of maintaining the earth, with garbage classification, reducing plastic products and other slogans into people's lives, everyone's concept of environmental protection is more obvious. But for Chinese, there is an indescribable relationship between kitchen utensils that have always been green and environmentally friendly, and it has also been written by many old people, why do Chinese need to use wooden chopsticks? Originally, metal chopsticks were more environmentally friendly, and they were not afraid of heat, rust or blackening.

I believe that there will be many Chinese who still have such a problem, many people used to promote planning, saying that wooden chopsticks are related to our flowers and trees, and disposable chopsticks should be banned for the maintenance of our own flowers and trees. But do the wooden chopsticks we use every day really have anything to do with flowers and trees? Many netizens reacted strongly, but there is actually a big misunderstanding in it.

1. There is no contradiction in the green environmental protection of wooden chopsticks.

First of all, wooden chopsticks, or wooden kitchen utensils, do not make people feel very environmentally friendly. However, we must pay attention to the fact that the wooden chopsticks commonly used in our daily life are rarely actually made of wood, and they are basically made of bamboo. Moso bamboo itself is a unique green plant in China, with an extremely vast total area of growth and development in southern China.

Bamboo grows very fast, usually a bamboo tree can quickly grow into a bamboo forest, and there is no shortage of raw materials.

For bamboo farmers, it is very common to use moso bamboo to make equipment, moso bamboo is durable, fragrant, moth-proof and insect-proof, so China began to use moso bamboo to make wooden chopsticks a long time ago, just on the surface, some moso bamboo is deliberately made of wood tones, which is misleading, thinking that wooden chopsticks are still made of wood.

2. Chinese like to use bamboo chopsticks.

Now that we know that most of the raw materials of wooden chopsticks are moso bamboo, let's take a look at the wooden chopsticks made from moso bamboo. Chinese already like to use this kind of wooden chopsticks to come over to eat, and metal chopsticks compared with bamboo chopsticks, bamboo chopsticks have higher sliding friction, it is convenient and fast to pick up ingredients, Hongqi group such as eggs, lentils, eating noodles These practical operations, are more convenient to use bamboo chopsticks, if you change to metal chopsticks, it is difficult to pick up food.

Some people also say why Koreans like to use metal chopsticks. Everyone must pay attention to the fact that Korean metal chopsticks are flat and short, suitable for tearing off sauerkraut, and metal chopsticks are used to eat barbecue, which is not burned by the fire and is more durable. For Chinese, the daily diet is not only sauerkraut and charcoal-grilled meat, but the length of wooden chopsticks is fixed at seven inches and six minutes, which has Chinese cultural connotations.

3. Bamboo chopsticks are more suitable for Chinese food matching.

Chinese eat more soft food, less cold food, if the use of metal chopsticks, the heat transfer is too good, or a few minutes, the temperature of soft food will be transmitted to the hand, not good to eat again. Wooden chopsticks made of bamboo or wood have poor heat transfer, and they will not be burned due to high ambient temperature when eating hot pot. Therefore, bamboo wooden chopsticks are more suitable for Chinese food matching, and Chinese continue to insist on using bamboo chopsticks.

Mainly because the cost of wooden chopsticks is relatively low, and for Chinese food with fireworks, wooden chopsticks are more emotional to eat and will not burn the mouth.

Because wooden chopsticks will be more convenient than metal chopsticks in the process of clamping, metal chopsticks are too smooth and not easy to clamp.

According to relevant data, China consumes 45 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks every year, consumes 1.66 million cubic meters of wood, needs to cut down about 25 million large trees, and reduces the forest area by 2 million square meters.

1.5 million pairs of disposable chopsticks are consumed every day, and 20,000 large trees are "eaten" in a year.

With the fast forest, you don't have to worry about it.

Let's not be overpowered, Lao Hu is not in a hurry, what are we anxious about :)

First of all, chopsticks generally use bamboo, not trees. Secondly, steel chopsticks are heavier to hold. Finally, most of the Chinese dishes are hot, and the Chinese are very fond of eating soup and drinking hot pot.

Steel chopsticks can reduce the consumption of trees, but we rarely use them, because we have been reluctant to use steel chopsticks since ancient times, and the trees that make chopsticks are some fast-growing trees.

First of all, because the cost of steel chopsticks is definitely more expensive than ordinary wood, and the weight is heavier, it is not easy to hold, and it is not as good as wood, and the material and shape are not as good as wood.

It's really good wood and won't cause much damage, but if it's inferior or anticorrosive painted, it's not good. Chopsticks made of bamboo are better than those made of wood. Because bamboo chopsticks are not as easy to breed bacteria as wooden chopsticks, when used under the same conditions, bamboo chopsticks can be used for a longer time and have relatively few bacteria.

However, whether it is bamboo or wood, they like to wash it frequently, and they usually use boiling water to disinfect it. OneAdvantages and disadvantages of bamboo chopsticks。Pros:

Bamboo chopsticks are healthy and environmentally friendly, and the material is natural and non-toxic, which is for many families.

It is preferred, and the carbonized bamboo chopsticks in the bamboo chopsticks have the characteristics of high stability, which is more difficult to mold and lasts longer. Disadvantages: The outer skin and the inner part of the bamboo are quite different, so the bamboo chopsticks are easy to bend and deform when placed in the disinfection cupboard with a high temperature.

IIAdvantages and disadvantages of wooden chopsticks。Advantages: Wooden chopsticks are also pure natural materials, without chemicals and toxic effects, and are very healthy and safe to use.

Disadvantages: Wooden chopsticks are more susceptible to contamination than other materials, and they are also prone to mold and deterioration. If the wooden chopsticks have not been sterilized, it is easy to cause intestinal infectious diseases.

3. How to choose bamboo chopsticks

When buying bamboo chopsticks, you must choose the natural color, so that there will be no residue of harmful substances due to dyeing and other processing processes, and once the pigment on it falls off, it will also have an impact on health if it is eaten by mistake. 2. Choosing the true color also means that you want to choose "naked chopsticks", chopsticks still need to have a layer of lacquer, if not coated with a layer of lacquer, chopsticks are easy to wear and crack, and food residues will breed bacteria. Therefore, it is best to choose bamboo chopsticks coated with a layer of lacquer.

Chopsticks made of bamboo are better than those made of wood. Because bamboo chopsticks are not as easy as wooden chopsticks.

Breeding bacteria, when used under the same conditions, bamboo chopsticks are used for a longer period of time, and there are relatively few bacteria. However, whether it is bamboo or wood, they like to wash it frequently, and they usually use boiling water to disinfect it.

Yes, after all, wooden chopsticks need to be cut down to make them, and the reduction of trees will of course have an impact on the environment.

There will be some damage, but as long as the quality is good, it can be recycled.

It can cause damage to the environment. Because it will reduce the forest area and affect the ecological environment.

This will have an impact because the chopsticks we use are made of trees.

This will definitely happen, and if the trees are cut down, it will definitely cause damage to the environment.

It's a little bit, after all, you don't make a pair of chopsticks and the trees are cut down.

This one is for sure, after all, most of the wooden chopsticks are made from felled trees.

When used under the same conditions, wooden chopsticks are used for a shorter period of time and have comparatively more bacteria.

There are two main types of disposable chopsticks: disposable wooden chopsticks and disposable bamboo chopsticks. Disposable bamboo chopsticks are becoming more and more widely used because they are made from renewable bamboo, which is very economical.
