Palm Leaf Plates


Marx Foods was kind enough to send me a dozen of their Eco-friendly Palm Leaf Plates to try. I choose the rectangle ones because I thought they would be great for a BBQ. I decided to try them the other night with my Teriyaki chicken, grilled pineapple, and fresh corn on the cob. I felt like I should put on a lei and some tropical music.

I really liked how nice and sturdy these plates are and their raised sides. They are biodegradable plates and a renewable resource. "Naturally discarded sheaths of the leaves of the Adaka palm tree are collected from the forest floor. No trees are cut down." The rectangle plates were a bit smaller than I had imagined, perhaps better suited to a fun Asian meal than a BBQ. Next time I'll have to use the large square palm leaf plates for a BBQ.

Love the eco- friendly plates. I used eco friendly cupckae liners that I found. Its the little things that make a difference.

Awesome! These sounds great and they also look really cute! I love the picture you did of them, too. I'm so impressed, Barbara--people sending you things to try. That's seriously quite an accomplishment. Good job!

The rectangular shape and high sides are a super idea, I think. Eco friendly is THE way to go. We have to take care of our planet and this is a good step. Well done, Barbara!

These plates are great. I'm 100% in favor of using biodegradable paper products. Perfect for a BBQ.

They are so nice - you could pass them off as real.

When I saw this picture, the first thing that I had on my head was: This sweet corn looks really yummy!
Perfect dish!

Wow, those are very cool! I always feel guilty using regular paper plates at a bbq.

Gorgeous and eco-friendly...how awesome! :)

I definitely need to pick up some of those plates! I need to try and focus more on saving our environment! I admit, I haven't done a good job of it.

That said, that is some beautiful corn, and what a great dish to serve on those plates. Teryaki Chicken, corn and pineapple a la biodegradable..love it! :)

I saw in my email that Marx foods was doing a giveaway of the palm plates!

I've used the bamboo plates for parties- they're expensive, but so cute. These look great too!
