Edible Container For Foodstuffs And Process For Producing The Same

Abstract

An open-ended edible container for foodstuffs composed of cereals and/or fruits in a sheet formed by means of a binder wherein the inner surface of the container is very lightly patterned while the outer surface has a smooth texture with embedded flakes; a process for manufacturing edible containers for foodstuffs comprising the steps of: pouring a liquid batter on baking plates, partially cooking the batter for providing a sheet, depositing cereals and/or fruit flakes as a layer onto the sheet, —finally cooking the sheet, giving the desired shape to the container, in which the inner surface of the container is very lightly patterned while the outer surface of said container has a rough texture with embedded flakes.
