Of the many innovative products displayed at this year’s Krishi Mela at Gandhi Vijnana Krishi Kendra (GKVK) was millet cutlery. The edible cutlery products have been made since it is the international year of the millets.
“One of our innovations is the millet cutlery, where we can use spoons, bowls, and forks which are developed by little millets,” Bhavana, one of the students from the Department of Food Sciences and Nutrition at the University of Agriculture Sciences, said.
The team has also come up with products such as the pellets of maize, and basil pasta.
