THE EXTRAORDINARY “COAL”

             Charcoal will just be regarded as a fuel for barbecue grilling by most of us but….wait! Let’s dig deeper into the past…..back dating to the reign of Ming Dynasty in Guangzhou (China) during 1486 A.D; it provides a whole new picture and perspective to this natural source as it was at this time that bamboo charcoal was documented. 

            Also known as “Takesumi” or “Chikutan” in Japanese or even Black Diamond simply means deodorize which is exactly what Bamboo Charcoal does but this charcoal does function in many more ways than just deodorizing by exhibiting its property as a charcoal but with a lot more benefits or in other words, it is an all rounder! It can be applied domestically due to its Absorption & Deodorizing properties which absorb Odors and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. 

            Industrially, it is used in the Food sector; Health-care sector for medicinal purposes to absorb Toxic, Harmful & Poisonous substances as well as in Hair & Skin care products; it absorbs Radioactive ions such as Xenon & Krypton as it releases -ve ions to balance the +ve ones.

         Lastly, it is also used in the agriculture sector due to its ability to change the soil structure, eliminate negative effects of pesticides on plants, increase soil temperature and amount of water content. All of its ability is attributed to the pores, gaps and cavities in its structure.

         Its process is as simple as taking pieces of bamboo & burning them inside an oven at temperatures over 1000° C.

         This puts everyone especially Environmentalists at ease as all can be rest assured that this product is environmentally friendly because bamboo is a grass, thus when the stalks are cut down, it re-grows from the existing root structure and are only taken from plants that are five years or older. Moreover, it benefits the environment by reducing the residues pollution as they are burned inside an oven unlike the conventional ones.
