I am wondering if its appropriate for all food,or just sweet ,and the issue with wrapping is it is exposed to the elements . Even if its edible ,it can get dirty .Who wants to eat that ? The wrapper needs a wrapper ? Edited August 27, 2013 by Simbi Laveau 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keel M. Posted August 27, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Your point is the reason it will never work Simbi. At least I wouldn't eat an edible wrapper. Ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashotep Posted August 27, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Even if I wouldn't eat it I bet since its is eatable it would decay fast in a landfill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashore Posted August 27, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I don't think it's the first edible food wrapper... I remember when I was a little girl.. When we went to a local asian restaurant, there were these rice candies that came in their own edible wrappers- they just melted in your mouth.

When we went to a local asian restaurant, there were these rice candies that came in their own edible wrappers- they just melted in your mouth. I loved those.they were discontinued ,and reformulated ,because the wrapper was found to be full of lead . They suck now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplos Posted August 28, 2013 #9 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Even if I wouldn't eat it I bet since its is eatable it would decay fast in a landfill. Not necessarily. I've seen articles where pieces of vegetable and lunch meat slices were dug up from 10-20 years down in landfills and weren't degraded much at all. No air, moisture, soil, no insects or anything.. just tightly-packed trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wrapper needs a wrapper ? I guess if it was sealed in a lunch box or something it wouldn't be an issue as such but you might just want to call it a tortilla !
