The Best 4 Eco-Friendly Kitchen Knives for Vegan Cooking

See this content in the original post

On the lookout for a sustainably-made knife that will last you a lifetime of slicing, dicing, and mincing your healthy veggies? Luckily, as a vegan, you don’t actually need a ton of knives. You’re mainly chopping fruits, vegetables, herbs, and perhaps tempeh or tofu. So, what’s important is to focus on finding a knife that is acid-resistant, long-lasting, sharp, and won’t dull so easily, so you can slice through foods like tomatoes and squash with ease!

When it comes to sustainability, one of the key factors to look at is durability — if a household product will only last you a few months before it needs to be replaced, it encourages excess waste and energy use for production or recycling. Avoid tossing out another rusty or cracked kitchen tool by instead going for one of the following eco-friendly kitchen knives!

Veg It Pro Ceramic Vegetable Knife

Price | $28.99

Material | Ceramic, Wheat Straw.

Best For | Micro precision slicing, cutting, and chopping fruits and vegetables.

The ideal choice for vegans and others who follow a plant-based diet, Veg It Pro’s ceramic knife is both ultra-durable and made of natural, recyclable materials! Plus, it’s 10x sharper than stainless steel, so you can slice your fruit and veg to perfection every time. It’s so strong, you don’t even have to sharpen it!

The blade is crafted from Zirconia powder, and the handle is made out of wheat straw, making it strong, resistant, and ultra-sustainable. After all, wheat straw is a byproduct that is often discarded in the industry, meaning no extra resources were required for its production! Try out this Earth-friendly kitchen knife that will last you for ages!
