If eating your spoon was good for the planet, would you do it?
Dinesh Tadepalli would. In fact, Dinesh and his entire team at IncrEDIBLE Spoons are dedicated to getting you to eat your spoons—and they won the 2020 Winter Fancy Food Show earlier this year in the process. The company produces edible spoons made of whole grains in a bid to help reduce plastic pollution in the environment.
Dinesh knows that not everybody thinks about—or worries—over the rapid increase in plastic pollution, especially in the oceans. But, he believes that he can help such people contribute to a safer environment by giving them the option to eat their spoons.
In this episode of the NexxtLevel Podcast, Steve Cleere is joined by Dinesh Tadepalli, Co-Founder of IncrEDIBLE Spoons, to talk about Dinesh's award-winning edible spoons and his goal of saving the environment from plastic pollution. They talk about the ingredients used to manufacture the spoons, the costs of production and his process for financing, and the benefits of partnering with ingredient suppliers. Stay tuned.
