Sometimes I get packaging which is like beige 'wotsits' and smells strongly of wheat. It turns into a light mush in water and can be rinsed away.

Did you not taste one of them before rinsing them down the sink, Jim?

Those "packaging peanuts" are made from cornstarch I believe, so yes - very similar to Wotsits!

And it's a free toy - you can make things with them if you just damp them slightly with a cloth, they stick together, so you can build things.

Now if they could make edible cardboard boxes, all would be sorted.

That's a very good idea. I must save some next time and give it a try!

They smell 'wheaty' rather than 'corny' - rather like Puffed Wheat.

Half the world is short of food and now we are using
food as packaging
