Edible Utensils Are Good for You and the Planet

pliant flatware might be crummy , but it ’s also bothersome to reprocess and wicked for the surround when you throw it out . So Narayana Peesapaty set out to make utensil you may eat . He calls themBakeys .

Bakeys are made from a mix of millet , rice , and wheat flours and , as the name implies , baked dry . They have a shelf life of about three years and probably savor a little bit like Grape Nuts . Of course you do n’t have to eat your utensil ; Bakeys will safely biodegrade in the wish-wash . They do look rather toothsome and come in three flavors : plain , sweet , or spicy ( a mixing of black-market capsicum pepper plant , Cuminum cyminum , and caraway ) .

presently these tasty pieces of eating utensil are available in a potpourri of shapes including soup spoon , sporks , and even chopstick . alas for customers outside Hyderabad , India , you must dictate at least 10,000Bakeys at a time .
