A husband and wife in Belgium invented a kind of edible cutlery that can be eaten together with meals when it is used to hold food. It is not only environmentally friendly but also saves time for cleaning dishes.

The origin of edible cutlery ideas stemmed from a family reunion. After the banquet, the husband and wife discovered that there were piles of bowls to wash. Mr. Thibaut Gilquin joked with his wife and said, "Just eat the dishes."

Although this was only a joke, it allowed them to develop the idea of ​​developing edible utensils, and they took this idea seriously. After many attempts, they succeeded in producing tableware made from a combination of starch, water and oil. This material is strong enough to hold a variety of foods and sauces, but also easy to digest.

Mrs. Gilquin said that the cutlery can be biodegradable and can be placed in the oven. There is no special taste, and sweet or salty foods can be placed. The Gil Quinn couple has set up a small company to research and develop related products. Although they have already produced edible food containers, they still have a lot of work to do. They plan to develop other edible products.
