The Story
The shell that usually gets thrown away
When rice is milled, the hard outer husk is separated and discarded, producing hundreds of millions of tonnes worldwide. It's a genuinely abundant by-product.
Ground fine and bound naturally, rice husk forms a durable, BPA-free material with a distinctive warm speckle. It's a sturdy, natural-feeling alternative for everyday tableware.
