Acacia wood is widely used for both furniture and ornaments, and rightly so. Perhaps no other wood combines durability and good looks - ideal for the kitchen. As you use your acacia chopping board you may also like to think that in Thailand and Laos (an around the world) the seeds and leaves of the acacia tree are used in curries, soups and egg dishes. Perhaps less exotically acacia honey is a great tasting honey made in many parts of the world.
