Interesting...
They look like brightly coloured paper but they are 100% edible. The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in the US is developing vegetable-and-fruit based food wraps which can be used like tortillas or in place of cling film.
The aim of the research is to reduce synthetic food wrapping, while providing extra nutrients so that both people and the environment benefit. Made from 75% pureed fruits and vegetables, the wraps are papaer-thin - thanks to infra-red dying - and come in a variety of flavours including carrot-ginger, tomato-basil, capsicaum and soybean.
The wraps which are to be commercialised within the next 12 months, can also be used as a substitute for nori, the seaweed wrap used in sushi.
You heard it on Kat & Bellas blog first! ha!
