Edible spoon maker IncrEDIBLE Eats – which makes its debut on ABC's “Shark Tank” this Friday – started at an ice cream shop. Co-founder Dinesh Tadepalli was with his kid, throwing away the cup and the plastic spoon, when he couldn’t help but see the “hundreds” of discarded plastic utensils already in the bin.

Will the sharks take a bite? Dinesh Tadepalli, a Morrisville-based entrepreneur, is on a mission to get people to use less plastic. His startup, Incredible Eats, makes edible spoons that can be eaten rather than thrown into the trash. The company is built on the idea that if you offer consumers a tasty alternative to plastic, they will take it.

Minimize your footprint with environmentally responsible products that reduce resources, minimize trash and plastics, promote sustainable sourcing, and emphasize ethics.

The lightly flavored utensils can be used with both hot and cold foods, including soup, yogurt, ice cream, oatmeal, cereal, pasta, rice, stews, and more. Able to withstand hot or ice-cold foods for 30 minutes, the spoons are crafted from non-GM wheat, corn, oats, brown rice, and chickpeas.

If you’re looking for ways to live a more sustainable life, the kitchen is a great place to start. Feel good about setting your table with these eco-friendly products. 

When you are looking for a healthy snack, it is tough to find something that tastes good and has the right nutrition. There are so many options out there that claim to be “healthy,” but they often contain lots of sugar or preservatives.
