How to make edible water bottles

Going for a day at the beach? Need water to stay hydrated? Learn how to say "no" to plastic containers. Cook your own edible water bottles.

Is there water you can eat? Yes, there is. It might sound strange, but it is possible to create a gelatinous fiber that keeps the water "solid" and ready to be consumed.

These natural water bottles can burst quite easily. However, it is possible to produce thicker skins for industrial purposes. The good news is that they're cheap, biodegradable and an excellent teaching tool for schools.
