Edible cutlery?
2021 was the year in which governments agreed to give a ultimatum to plastic. Although not all countries arrived on time. For example, in Spain the total prohibition of this material was delayed until January 2023. And it is that, before eliminating all traces of plastic we have to find its alternatives. Well, we use it for almost everything. Some elements have found their sustainable substitute, such as cardboard, the bamboo, starches, etc But the novelty is the edible cutlery.
Voila Bio has been in charge of carrying out this innovation. It is an option "that is not only 100% biodegradable, but also improves the gastronomic experience". Ensures Laura Gispert, founder together with Ricardo Conde of the brand. But… how do these edible cutlery taste? The first thing we should know is that they are designed to please everyone's tastes. They have a neutral flavor that accompanies the sweet dishes y salty.
With the help of chef Xano Saguer have achieved a recipe "scalable, suitable for everyone, gluten-free and capable of reaching the disposable cutlery market on the planet”. Gispert reports. In this way he adds that they were looking for a tool that "was hard enough to be able to cut y puncture, but at the same time breaks when bitten".
All that are alternatives that help to conserve the planet they are good proposals. Also, if you think that these edible cutlery are not for you, think that, even if dinner fills you up and you don't feel like eating more, there will always be a taste more pleasant than wood.
