Product Name: Coir Vegetable Brush A handmade vegetable brush that can also be called that. The wooden handle is gentle on the delicate hands and not the shell. The rule is: scrubbing rather than peeling - this way more vitamins and fiber are retained. Brushes made from the renewable resource coir are almost a relic from “old times”. Years ago, natural bristles were displaced from the market and consumers have been lured with cheap plastic brushes ever since. Many small entrepreneurs in the coir industry in Sri Lanka and India lost jobs and income as a result of this development. Today, there are only a few companies that use coir for the production of brushes.
