A Spoon You Can Eat Is a Tasty Alternative to Plastic Waste | Short Film Showcase

Plastic cutlery has been around for years, widely considered the only choice for cheap, disposable cutlery. Knowing the threat plastic poses to our environment and health, Narayana Peesapathy created a tasty and nutritious alternative: edible cutlery. Made with flours of jowar (sorghum) blended with rice and wheat, the spoons contain no chemicals, preservatives, fat, emulsifiers, artificial colors, or milk products. They're 100 percent natural, biodegradable, and come in a variety of sweet and savory flavors. Black Ticket Films and The Better India teamed up to produce this short film about how, from now on, finishing your meal might have a new meaning.

This man is a beautiful-minded entrepreneur, and I hope to see his idea take off and for him to receive the recognition he deserves.

"it can handle hot soup"

[PCFost]

I would be that person who would eat the spoon on the first bite.

[PLUX]

If this was sold in the UK restaurants, the edible cutlery would probably outsell more than the actual food itself lol.

[heatherwells]

I wish for your spoons to go World wide.😊😉👍🙌🙌🙌🙌

Imagine a friend at your house and said *”You gonna eat that spoon? Cause it looks tasty”*
