Noturīgs pret trūdēšanu – mizas ārējā kārta ir izteikti izturīga, tāpēc paliknis kalpos ilgi arī virtuvē.

Dabīgs un videi draudzīgs – bērza tāss ir atjaunojams materiāls, parasti iegūstot to no kritušiem vai tīri apstrādātiem kokiem.

Such a birch bark coaster (≈14 cm diameter) is a very characteristic traditional and functional item with several natural advantages:

🌿 Properties

Moisture-resistant – birch bark contains natural resins (betulin), which make the material resistant to moisture. It does not absorb water and does not mold as easily as untreated wood.

Antibacterial – natural substances in the bark inhibit the development of bacteria and fungi. Therefore, bark has historically been used for dishes, bread storage, and food preservation.

Decay-resistant – the outer layer of the bark is distinctly durable, so the coaster will last long even in the kitchen.

Natural and environmentally friendly – birch bark is a renewable material, usually obtained from fallen or properly processed trees.

Heat-resistant – it works well as a coaster for hot dishes, as it does not conduct heat quickly and does not crack from heat.
