It¡¯s refreshing to see how everyone is striving to move towards a more sustainable lifestyle. From adopting a no plastic policy to opting for hand-made natural products, there is a great shift in ideologies and we are loving this change. If you look back in time, traditional Indian households were all about the sustainable way of life. From upcycling old products to using products like terracotta, our forefathers were more forward in their thinking than us.
The use of terracotta is not new. In fact, it stems from cooking techniques in the Roman empire and today, its revival is taking place all over the world with many chefs choosing to cook with terracotta. It¡¯s not only?sustainable and handmade but it¡¯s also culturally rooted and food safe.?
Now we know that making a switch to all natural elements might be a bit baffling for some, so let¡¯s start with one room at a time. You can take the first step by redecorating your kitchen with natural and handmade elements. To help you in the right direction, we¡¯ve listed out some of the best sustainable terracotta products here:
