Leaf Bowls (4 inch)

Taur Leaf Bowls, loaclly called Dunnu are a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional disposable plastic and thermocoal bowls. Taur (Bauhinia vahlii) is a large creeper that grows in hill forests between 600m to 1200 m. Crafted by local communities in Himachal Pradesh, these leaf bowls not only offer functionality but also tell a story of tradition, craftsmanship, and environmental consciousness.

Himachal Pradesh boasts a rich tradition of hosting public feasts, known locally as ‘Dham’. These gatherings feature an array of traditional dishes served on leaf plates and bowls. At Himflavours, we have introduced an enhanced version of these leaf bowls, wherein the traditional ‘Dunnu’ are transformed into sturdy bowls. Our bowls excel in securely holding various food items, whether liquid or solid, offering an upgraded dining experience rooted in Himachal’s cultural heritage.

Each Taur Leaf Bowl is meticulously handcrafted using leaves sourced from local forests. The leaves are carefully selected, cleaned, and skillfully woven together to create sturdy and durable plates that can hold a variety of culinary delights without compromising on strength or integrity.
