Ginkgo wood is elastic and soft, and will not sink in water, but will float. Moreover, the ginkgo wood chopping board has a fast drying speed, is not easy to crack, and has a special fragrance. More importantly, it is naturally mildew-proof, not easy to absorb fishy smell, and has a special repair function, which can heal knife marks, and is very suitable for cutting food without hurting the blade or slipping the knife. In particular, the chopping board cut from the whole living tree is full of weight, not easy to crack, and can chop meat and bones, which is stable but not slippery.
Use ginkgo tree as chopping board, the diameter should be at least 30 cm, and a 30-year-old ginkgo tree can only make more than 20 all-wood chopping boards at most. The disadvantage is that the ginkgo wood chopping board is poor in aesthetics and there are many fakes.
Matters needing attention in purchasing wooden chopping boards
1, look at the color
Good quality chopping board, consistent appearance color, no rotten core and no scar, strong and durable wood texture. If there are spots or mildew on the surface, it is not suitable for purchase.
2. Look at the annual rings
The center of the circle is at or near the center of the chopping block, and the number of rims is large and the density is uniform every year.
Step 3 look at the weight
Generally speaking, the heavier the 5-6 cm thick chopping board, the better the quality. Too thin is not only not durable, but also easy to shake when used.
Step 4 look at the size
The size should be moderate, and the diameter of 2 to 3 people should be about 28 cm. Four to five people can buy about 32 cm.
Step 5 smell it
You'd better smell the chopping block before you buy it. If it smells sour, don't buy it
