Wood has natural antimicrobial properties due to cellular tannins, and Sapele's dense, interlocked grain naturally resists bacterial colonization and liquid absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe \"Pre-Oil\" Pro Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Before slicing pungent onions, raw meat, or staining foods like red beets, swipe a thin layer of MCT oil or Board Butter across your board. It creates a temporary protective barrier that stops pigments and juices from sinking in, making cleanup effortless.
