The bowl is made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified plant-fibers, and is recyclable for packaging that’s more planet-friendly, and also PFAS Free.

Why @thegirlgonegreen loves Ready to Eat Bowls 

These bowls are perfect for when you need a quick and nutritious snack throughout the day. If you’re in a rush simply pop one of the bowls into the microwave for 15 seconds or let it thaw out for 15 minutes and enjoy. Not only is SAMBAZON Açaí Certified Fair Trade and Organic but the Ready to Eat Açaí Bowls are made from plant-fibers materials making them entirely recyclable. Refreshing, delicious taste that’s still good for you and the environment.  

How to Start your Garden with SAMBAZON x @thegirlgonegreen 

After enjoying the Delicious Powers of Açaí, you can use your leftover bowl as seed starters this spring for your summer garden. Getting to watch your plant grow from a seed is a joy and an inexpensive way to start a garden. Keeping seedlings indoors also helps protect your plants from cold unexpected weather.  

Step 1: 

You’ll need seed starting soil mix like this one that drains well. Once you are finished with your SAMBAZON Ready to Eat bowl rinse clean and add the moist soil mix. 

Step 2: 

Choose seeds that fit your climate. First, you need to learn your Grow Zone. Check out this map to find yours: once you learn what zone you live in, you’ll be able to learn what plants will thrive in your area.  

Step 3: 

Add selected seeds to a Ready to Eat Bowl about 1/4 inch deep into the soil or follow the instructions on your seed packet.  

Step 4: 

Water seeds in the bowl. Seedlings need lots of water, sunlight, and warmth. Keep plants in a sunny location like a windowsill. Water your plants when the surface of the soil is dry to the touch.  

Once your seedlings grow tall and strong and the weather warms up you can transfer your seedlings from the Ready to Eat Bowls to an outdoor garden if you have one. You can start more seedlings the more you enjoy the Delicious Powers of SAMBAZON! 

Happy gardening!
