Marx Foods was kind enough to send me a dozen of their Eco-friendly Palm Leaf Plates to try. I choose the rectangle ones because I thought they would be great for a BBQ. I decided to try them the other night with my Teriyaki chicken, grilled pineapple, and fresh corn on the cob. I felt like I should put on a lei and some tropical music.
I really liked how nice and sturdy these plates are and their raised sides. They are biodegradable plates and a renewable resource. “Naturally discarded sheaths of the leaves of the Adaka palm tree are collected from the forest floor. No trees are cut down.” The rectangle plates were a bit smaller than I had imagined, perhaps better suited to a fun Asian meal than a BBQ. Next time I’ll have to use the large square palm leaf plates for a BBQ.

Love the eco- friendly plates. I used eco friendly cupckae liners that I found. Its the little things that make a difference.
These plates are so neat!
Awesome! These sounds great and they also look really cute! I love the picture you did of them, too. I'm so impressed, Barbara–people sending you things to try. That's seriously quite an accomplishment. Good job!
Very cool plates!!! How did you get them to send you some? I want some too!!
The rectangular shape and high sides are a super idea, I think. Eco friendly is THE way to go. We have to take care of our planet and this is a good step. Well done, Barbara!
Lucky u Barabara,beautiful plate…
These plates are great. I'm 100% in favor of using biodegradable paper products. Perfect for a BBQ.
They look very nice…I would love some too!
Very cool plates! Nice for company and better for the environment!
Finally! A plate Ben can't break!
Nice plates, I'll have to look for these :-)
ooh, cool looking plates. I'll have to keep my eye out for those.
love those eco friendly plates! I am always on the lookout for stuff like that – I'll have to keep my eyes out for them!
Great plates, but what's that on the plate! YUM!
They are so nice – you could pass them off as real.
When I saw this picture, the first thing that I had on my head was: This sweet corn looks really yummy!
Perfect dish!
Wow, those are very cool! I always feel guilty using regular paper plates at a bbq.
Gorgeous and eco-friendly…how awesome! :)
I definitely need to pick up some of those plates! I need to try and focus more on saving our environment! I admit, I haven't done a good job of it.
That said, that is some beautiful corn, and what a great dish to serve on those plates. Teryaki Chicken, corn and pineapple a la biodegradable..love it! :)
Great plates!
(And the food looks very appetizing!)
I saw in my email that Marx foods was doing a giveaway of the palm plates!
I've used the bamboo plates for parties- they're expensive, but so cute. These look great too!
