The new 'Food Cubby' is here to save anyone who hates it when the different foods on their plate come in contact with one another. While this may sound like it's simply a product for fussy eaters, it is actually great for a wide variety of people, including the elderly, the vision-impaired, and children or adults with special needs.
The Food Cubby is a silicone food separator that can be used to keep proteins, carbs, and vegetables separate from one another when placed on the same plate. Each silicone separator features a half-moon shape that keeps each element of the meal contained. Additionally, the silicone separators feature suction cups on the bottom so they don't slide around the plate. The Food Cubby also comes in either orange or green so you can pick the color that pairs best with your meal.
