Wooden Diet Plate

This diet plate is made from mahogany wood by a skilled Sri Lankan craftsman. It has four separate sections. So you can keep rice, protein and vegetables apart on one plate.

How the diet plate works

Smooth, curved walls divide the plate into four parts. First, fill one part with fish, egg or chicken. Next, put rice in another part. Then add vegetables and greens to the rest. Your dietitian can guide you on the right amounts.

The walls are low, so it is easy to eat from each section.

A balanced diet plate for Sri Lankan meals

A rice and curry meal often has too much rice. However, with a balanced diet plate, you see each part of the meal clearly. So it is easier to eat more vegetables. In Sinhala, some people call this a samabala ahara plate.

Size of the wooden diet plate

The plate is about 11 to 12 inches across and about 0.75 inch high. So it suits a full meal for one adult. Also, the raised edge keeps gravy and curry in place.

Made from mahogany wood

Mahogany is a strong hardwood, so the plate lasts for many years. Also, the craftsman uses no added colour. As a result, each plate shows its own natural grain.

Many people use a diet plate for lunch boxes at home too. Also, it suits children who are learning to try new vegetables.

Easy care

Wash the plate by hand with mild soap. Then drain it and let it air dry. Do not soak it, and do not use a dishwasher.
