Making a meal of things with launch of edible – and healthy – cutlery
AN INDIAN company has created cutlery which can be eaten after a meal.
The sorghum-based forks, spoons, knives and chopsticks were the brainchild of a former scientist who promises added nutritional value from the environmentally friendly cutlery.
Narayan Peesapaty, managing director of B K Environmental Innovations, said: "I got the idea when I was travelling in a plane where they use plastic cutlery. It was extremely inconvenient and I knew there had to be some way to overcome this."
He decided to experiment with different types of flour after he observed the stiffness in khakhra, a Gujarati snack made of the cereal crop sorghum. "We are first targeting medical stores, educational institutions and then IT companies," he said.
