\t\t\t\tBehind the scenes of the culinary world, a revolution is stewing … er, baking.<\/p>\n
Literally.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s in the oven?<\/p>\n
Cutlery.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s right\u2014baked, edible utensils.<\/p>\n
Specifically, spoons.<\/p>\n
Indian eco-preneur Narayana Peesapaty devised the idea in order to provide an environmentally responsible alternative to \u201cdisposable\u201d plastic cutlery. He calls his spoons (and his company) Bakeys.<\/p>\n
“Our Edible Cutlery is meant to be eaten after use. If you do not want to eat it, simply throw it away. Insects and stray animals will eat them up or they will degrade naturally in less than three days,\u201d Peesapaty explains on the Bakeys website<\/u><\/a>. \u201cThese are made of flours. The flours are kneaded with plain water\u2014no additional chemicals and not even preservatives.”<\/p>\n
