Bakey's edible cutlery

How many times have you come across canteens and hotels that serve food with a greasy spoon or a stinky fork? And what do you do in such cases? Either ask for a clean one or use the same. But not anymore with Bakeys edible cutlery which manufactures edible spoon and fork, made from millet (jowar), rice and wheat. Narayana Peesapathy is a groundwater researcher and founder of Bakeys edible cutlery. Founded in the year 2011 in Hyderabad, the company has sold over 1.5 million units of Bakeys edible cutlery since its inception.

What makes Bakey’s edible cutlery better than disposable plastic cutlery? Also Read - Parineeti Chopra urges people to avoid using plastic

In India, around 120 billion units of disposable plastic cutlery is discarded. And since plastic is not biodegradable, (it takes more than 50 years for a single plastic cup to degrade), it leads to an increase in environmental toxins. Moreover, plastic is made of harmful chemical compounds such as polymers, phthalates, bisphenols, which are known carcinogens, thereby increasing your risk of cancer and other harmful diseases. Even though most people are aware of the health and environmental consequences of plastic, we continue to use it without much concern.

Bakeys edible cutlery is not only environmental-friendly but is also a healthy alternative. And the best part is, in addition to being made from nutritious flours, the cutlery has no chemical preservatives and is 100% natural. You can use it like a plastic spoon or fork for stirring coffee, tea or sip hot soup. Here are some key highlights of Bakey’s edible cutlery –

  • You can eat with it and then eat it up as it is not only nutritious but also delicious.
  • If you don’t want to eat it, throw away as it decomposes in four – five days.
  • Narayana Peesapathy says that the cutlery is made from desiccated flour and has a shelf life of more than three years.
  • The cutlery comes in different flavors — sugar, ginger and cinnamon, ginger and garlic, mint and ginger, carrot and beetroot, etc.

Although the idea of edible cutlery might have received thumbs up from every sector, there are a few doubts:

  • How much heat can the edible cutlery sustain?
  • How should we have to store it?
  • If it is preservative-free, how does it have a three-year shelf life?
  • Does one have to throw it away after a single use?
  • Is it possible to wash, dry and reuse the cutlery?
  • If yes, for how long can you use it?
  • And lastly, the cost.

We will update the answers soon, so bookmark this page now. Also, if you have any other question, please post it in the comments section.
