Sturdy! That’s the word that comes to mind when you think of an areca palm leaf plate. Its sturdiness isn’t a surprise considering how hard the leaf sheath is. For this reason, the sheath has to be worn down a little before it can be moulded as needed. The first step to achieve this is to dry the leaves. Adaaya does this with nothing but the power of the Sun. The leaves are spread out to feel the heat, and this contributes to Adaaya’s aim of producing a sustainable product sustainably!
