What is a Chopstick?
Chopsticks are shaped pairs of equal-length sticks that have been used as kitchen and eating utensils in most of East and Southeast Asia for over three millennia.
They are held in the dominant hand, secured by fingers, and wielded as extensions of the hand, to pick up food.

Are chopsticks reusable?
If you find yourself with a pair that’s in good condition after your dinner, wash them by hand, let them air dry, and reuse them.
Be sure not to overuse disposable chopsticks, though. Because they’re not intended for long-term usage, they may not be as resistant to bacteria. You should replace them after a month or so.
How long do chopsticks last?
With simple, practical care almost all chopsticks will last for years of daily use. Treat them with love and respect and they will reward you with their beauty.
