Eat your spoon

Eating your spoon as well after dinner… could a chef get a better compliment? We have seen chocolate, cookie and peppermint versions but the ‘edible spoon’ from Triangle Tree is organic and a responsible replacement of a disposable plastic spoon. The spoon is composed of organic ingredients such as corn flour, eggs, milk, sugar, salt, herbs and spices. This spoon comes in three flavors: Plain, Spicy and Sweet. The Edible Spoon can be used to eat a variety of foods. It’s tasty, it’s healthy, it’s convenient, and it promotes a cleaner tomorrow. The spoon could be served alongside appetizers and meals at restaurants or at events such as festivals. Or serve this previously spotted edible teaspoon with a cup of tea.
