Bamboo chopsticks are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, cheap, not easily deformed, and feel good when used. They are the best choice among all chopsticks.
Generally, bamboo chopsticks are not easy to paint, which is very environmentally friendly and hygienic. But you can't rule out all the possibilities of painting. Don't buy chopsticks if they have serious paint marks or even a pungent smell.
Wooden chopsticks:
The second best choice is wooden chopsticks. But not as long as it's made of wood. What is really good is the wooden chopsticks with primary colors. Those wooden chopsticks painted with colored paint are even more unhealthy, and the harmful substances in the paint are likely to have a negative impact on health.
Plastic chopsticks:
Although the color and appearance of plastic chopsticks are slightly beautiful, their texture is very poor, they are easy to deform and melt when heated, and they are easy to produce harmful substances, so they are not recommended at all.
New chopsticks:
This refers to chopsticks made of silver, ceramics and stainless steel. This kind of chopsticks has a good texture, but it is inconvenient and heavy to use, and many of them have strong thermal conductivity and are in danger of being burned. Not recommended for children and the elderly.
If you really want to use stainless steel chopsticks, remember to distinguish whether the material is food-grade 304 stainless steel.
So overall, bamboo chopsticks and wooden chopsticks are the most recommended, but relatively speaking, their durability is not strong, and they will become loose after long-term use, leaving bacteria behind. It is recommended to replace it regularly, and it can be replaced in three months or six months. Of course, there is no limit to the specific time standard. Generally, chopsticks can be replaced after burrs, cracks or paint drops. Or chopsticks get wet, bend and deform, and need to be replaced.
When buying chopsticks, make sure that the selected chopsticks have no spots, and at the same time, you can smell them to determine whether there is an odor. If the chopsticks are wet and sour, they are likely to be moldy and deteriorated. It is not recommended to buy them. From the appearance, chopsticks with raw lacquer and shiny surface are better.

How to maintain chopsticks
Finally, let's take a look at how to maintain chopsticks and extend their service life as much as possible.
First of all, the family should try not to mix chopsticks. Because if mixed, it is easy to cause cross-infection of some diseases. Studies have shown that nearly half of people have Helicobacter pylori, which causes stomach diseases, and most of these bacteria are spread through families, and chopsticks are one of the important media. Therefore, it is best to have someone to use chopsticks at home.
Secondly, wash chopsticks thoroughly. Many families in China are generous in washing chopsticks. The whole chopsticks are rubbed under the faucet and then inserted into the chopsticks tube for washing. As we all know, chopsticks are easy to breed bacteria and enter the human body with food, which is harmful to people's health. The correct washing method should be: wash chopsticks carefully with detergent, drain the water, and then put them into the chopsticks tube. Moreover, the chopsticks tube should be hollowed out, and there is no water at the bottom, so it should be cleaned and disinfected frequently.
Third, chopsticks should be changed frequently. In many families, it is common to use a pair of chopsticks for two or three years. But once chopsticks are used for a long time, the surface is no longer smooth, and it is easy to make chopsticks rough, with many tiny grooves, which are very easy to leave bacteria. So it's best to change chopsticks once every six months.
Finally, the maintenance of chopsticks is partly due to the chopsticks cage, which should be cleaned frequently.
