I travel quite a lot for my work and so usually end up eating by myself in cafes. I usually take a good book or magazine with me to help pass the time. Last week, I was in PORTLAND OR where I ate at India Oven Authentic Cuisine Of and I came across a really interesting article to do with bamboo clothing. I did not know you could make clothes out of bamboo.

Bamboo has some great qualities. I found out bamboo fabric is softer than organic cotton. They say it is antibacterial and good for you if you suffer from allergies. That is a great quality to have in clothes. Bamboo clothing is highly absorbent which means it is a great choice for gym wear or also as bamboo towels. I was intrigued by these claims so I had to find out for myself. I went online and purchased a couple pieces of clothing.

I have to admit I was extremely impressed with the quality. The fabric definitely is soft, similar to silk. It was pretty much dry when I removed it from the washing machine which I found to be incredible. The other thing I noticed is that it did not necessarily require ironing. I do not know if all bamboo clothing is like that but it is a quality I look for as I hate doing ironing.

Find the latest bamboo clothes here or there are many organic apparel stores where you can get organic cotton clothes as well bamboo towels.

After a little more research I discovered some other incredible facts to do with bamboo. It is a product which is organic. It grows incredibly rapidly which means it does not require fertilisers and they do not need pesticides either. Also bamboo needs little water during the growing period meaning they can survive droughts.

I do my best to make eco-friendly choices whenever I do my shopping. Bamboo is organic, renewable, and sustainable so it is my number one choice for t-shirts and other products such as robes, blankets, throws, and baby clothes.

You can find plenty of details on bamboo here and good info about organic farming and why to buy organic products.
