Moso bamboo, known as the giant bamboo or timber bamboo, has been used for centuries to fashion buildings, flooring and culinary tools. The young shoots are often prepared into asian dishes. They used this beautiful and renewable plant to create the Moso Bamboo Soap Shelf, a perfect dry resting spot for the Dish Block® dish washing soap. It will fit both the regular size and the huge size. The generous size also fits our body soaps or two of our shampoo bars.
