My husband is half Japanese, and when he was a kid and would visit his Japanese-American grandma in San Jose, California, every summer, she'd make him the most elaborate bento box lunches. He still talks about them now (they were that good!), and he's now got me obsessed with the concept of bento boxes too! Here's why I think they're such a great concept ...
You don't have to be Japanese or like Japanese food to enjoy bento boxes--they're just a great way to pack or serve a meal. Here's why I think they're a healthy-eating do:
*They help you with portion control.
*They promote variety (just think of all the various veggies you could put in the different slots)!
*They're cute!
*They make lunch fun!
