The Bento Box is currently very popular. This functional stainless steel lunchbox offers much more flexibility than a classic lunchbox. Thanks to the smart layout, you can conveniently pack fruit, vegetables, bread, salad or pasta in one box. For yoghurt, dressing or other food that can leak, choose a leakproof model or a separate, securely closed leakproof container. This makes it easier to pack a varied and balanced meal.
The principle of the Bento Box
The Bento Box originates in Japan. Centuries ago Japanese nobles already used wooden boxes with compartments to carry food on a journey. Small, fine dishes were so neatly separated and tastefully presented. Today Bento Boxes are still divided into compartments of different sizes, keeping bread, fruit and vegetables organised, appealing and separate.
Strong and durable material
Bento Boxes are often made of sturdy material such as plastic or stainless steel. This makes them impact-resistant, lasts a long time and can withstand temperature differences, dirt, odours and bacteria. So you can use them over and over again and easily clean them. Your food also stays fresh and attractive.
What are the benefits of the Bento principle?
A Bento Box is much more than a regular lunch box. The different compartments help keep bread, pastries, fruit and vegetables organised. Compartments alone do not make a lunchbox leakproof. Pack yoghurt, dressing or juicy food that can release liquid in a leakproof model or a separate, securely closed leakproof container. The Bento Box is ideal for young and old: convenient for school, at work, on the go or during a walk.
There are Bento Boxes in all kinds of designs and materials. Everyone has their own preference, both in appearance and content. Parents can fill the lunchbox for their children with various delicious snacks. Children who normally have trouble with their lunch, often eat better from a box full of variety and also a small dessert fits easily. This makes lunch more fun and stimulates a varied and healthy diet.
