Forget cutlery — it’s eatlery now

Have your cake and eat the spoon too: The UAE’s Green Aura came up with “eatlery” in lieu of cutlery for a more sustainable F&B industry, Khaleej Times reported. The entirely vegan, baked cutlery is a mixture of cereal grains and “doesn’t disintegrate while you’re eating soup, rice or curry,” Green Aura CEO Pooja Ravinath told the media outlet. The new range of biodegradable spoons and stirrers does not alter the taste of your food, but it does have its unique taste once you bite into it, Ravinath added. Some challenges do remain, however — like breakage — but the company is working towards developing sturdier products to ultimately include knives and forks.
