About Bakeys’ Cutlery

Founded in 2010, Bakeys Foods Private Ltd. is a Hyderabad-based startup making disposable, but edible food cutleries that tastes like crackers. Made using healthy ingredients like dried millet, wheat and rice, it is a perfect alternative to disposable plastic/ wood cutlery and bamboo chopsticks. After long hours of research, the product is designed in such a way that the users feel comfortable to fully relish their gastronomic session. The brain behind such innovative cutlery is Narayana Peesapaty, who was working as a sustainable farming researcher at a nonprofit organization.

The idea behind Bakeys

The idea behind such a cutlery is to save thousands of plastic spoons and forks chucking the garbage and thus, reducing the use of plastic and being environment-friendly. Hence, he invented a cutlery that could be easily eaten instead of disposing it. Soups and such other liquids can be easily sipped with these edible spoons. They are said to be a bit more expensive than the plastic ones.
