Plastic was said to become an even worse breeding ground for bacteria once it’s scarred with knife marks.

That’s not to say a wooden chopping board will be self-cleaning – you’ll still have to wash it. However, it possesses anti-microbial properties that make it somewhat more resistant to bacteria than plastic. So I should buy a wooden board, then? So, what are the 7 best foldable cutting boards?
