Spaghetti Scrub

Last month, Sean, the kids and I went to Brooklyn to visit my sister in law and her family.  While lounging in her fabulous kitchen, I noticed this funky scrubber in her sink.  She described how a friend had given it to her, it was made out of corn and that it was fabulous.  I decided I had to have one of my own.

This is what it turned out to be

Spaghetti Scrub

It comes in two types - Coarse (made of corn cobs) and Gentle (made of peach pits).  I only ordered the coarse but I'm thinking I should get the gentle too.  The ingredients for the Coarse are corn core powder, cotton and polyester.  They are made in Japan and supposedly the scrubs last for months and won't rust.

The next question is whether they are compostable?
