When selecting a cutting board for your kitchen, it is important to understand the difference in the materials since it will be used so frequently when preparing and cooking food. Cutting boards come in a variety of options, ranging from plastic to composites to woods. Wooden cutting boards have long been considered the best choice when it comes to longevity of both the cutting board and your knives. 

The most popular wooden cutting boards are usually available in maple, cherry and walnut. When deciding which to select, consider 4 reasons why maple is a good wood for a cutting board. 

Abundance

Hard Rock Maple trees are abundant in Canada and the upper Midwest areas of the United States. It can withstand long, cold winters and hot, humid summers. Hard Rock Maple, or Sugar Maple, is almost twice the weight compared with softer maple varieties, lending itself to be the perfect wood for a wide range of products. Besides producing quality wooden cutting boards, Hard Rock Maple is used for baseball bats, rolling pins and even flooring.

Durability and Cleanliness

The Hard Maple trees have a reputation for being extremely resistant to damage, mainly due to its solid nature. This type of material has also been certified by the National Sanitation Foundation as being food safe. This means that it safely inhibits bacterial growth near food. When cared for properly, this wood can absorb bad bacteria from the cutting board and trap it inside its pores, effectively killing it. 

Affordability

Because of its abundant growth throughout North America, maple cutting boards are typically more affordable than other options. It also carries a lower environmental impact compared with outsourced materials, keeping costs lower. 

Appearance

Not only is it a practical wood but it is also a very beautiful wood. Lighter in color than many other woods, with beautifully subtle grain marks make a cutting board functional and nice to look at. Designers are always looking for irregular patterns in maple wood to produce unique and aesthetically pleasing furniture and other items.
