Will mineral oil darken my Bamboo kitchen products?

Question

I have some Bamboo kitchen products that are from a brand called Lipper. The items have a very nice "honey" color to them, but on some spots... I notice it is turning grayish. So I think I need to apply some mineral oil to those spots. Will mineral oil darken the Bamboo? If so, what could I use to prevent darkening the Bamboo yet maintaining it?

Here is what the label reads, similiar: The lovely honey color is produced entirely naturally, without the use of stain or paint, through a special heating process that caramelizes the sugar in the wood.

Answer 1

Try the mineral oil on a very small spot that is un-noticeable. (The bottom?) and let it sit a few hours and the check on the color situation. If it doesn't change your good to use the mineral oil.

Answer 2

i don't think so it depends on what type of finish they have on them
