The WikiPearl is the design behind a new dessert called Perfectly Free. The idea for the WikiPearl technology was designed by a company called Wiki Foods, which created the technology used to package their frozen desserts. The outer layer of these delicious desserts is composed of algae and calcium or fruit and coconut particles much like the outer waxy layer of a grape or apple. This coating is able to withstand both contact and washing without melting, or contamination of the product beneath it. It doesn’t break down and leach chemicals into your food, and it makes no mess, or waste. Inspired by its fruit counterpart, this coating can be applied to virtually any food and acts as a no-mess container for storage and transportation.

WikiFoods, Inc. has developed a revolutionary, plastic-free food and beverage packaging technology that delivers "Triple Good." Good for you. Good for the environment. And just plain good.

Imagine for a second the skin of a grape or a coconut. WikiFood skins are inspired by the way nature packages fruits and vegetables. These skins are delicious protective coatings against water loss and contaminant entry, and potential carriers of effective and functional nutrition.

The WikiFood technology protects the wrapped food or beverage without exposing it to unnatural materials or chemicals while also delivering benefits of health, convenience and a food experience like nothing else.

Back in 2009 Edwards and French designer Francois Azambourg began developing a new technology to eliminate packaging from foods. Called WikiCells, the edible soft skins are made from natural food particles that are bound together by nutritive ions. The goal was to reduce plastic waste while improving human health through portion control and vitamin-supplemented skins.

My first question is if this is washable, and if their endgame is to rid us of food packaging altogether, because edible fruit and cans that don't have a pop top when you open them already make me grit my teeth with fear, and if you had even an ounce of sense it'd probably freak you out too.

You Can Hold This Ice Cream of the Future in Your Bare Hands

In a little shop near the Louvre museum in Paris, a very strange type of ice cream is being sold. At the counter customers don’t order cups, cones or shakes; here they ask for WikiPearls, little donut hole-sized balls of ice cream that are covered in a flavored, protective skin. “People come in and say, ‘What’s this all about?’” says David Edwards, the mastermind behind WikiPearl and the newly opened WikiBar. It’s a very good question, actually. Much like Dippin’ Dots, the pearl-like ice cream that blew kids’ minds in the ‘90s, WikiPearls is angling to change the way we eat ice cream. But it’s not just frozen snacks that Edwards is looking to revolutionize—the Harvard bioengineering professor has bigger plans than that.
