# Edible Ramen Wrappers Holly Ground's Ramen Packaging Dissolves Into Instant Noodle Broth By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-07-13 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ramen-packaging References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2020/07/13/holly-grounds-dissolvable-noodle-packaging-design/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+dezeen+%28Dezeenfeed%29) & [hollygroundsrgo.site](http://hollygrounds.cargo.site/) Seasoning sachets and sauce are important components of ramen packaging and product design student Holly Grounds is reimagining the way [instant noodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itsu-noodles-broth) are prepared and packaged. The edible, spice-infused wrapper is made from a flavorless biofilm that can be assembled from a few simple ingredients like potato starch, glycerin and water. Once heat-sealed, the film helps to keep wrapped noodles from going stale but contact with boiling water turns the protective packaging into a seasoned broth. Studded with seeds, the innovative ramen packaging design resembles a bagel when wrapped up, especially since the dried ramen disks are formed into circular rather than rectangular shapes. Going beyond packaging that's [biodegradable or recyclable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compostable-packaging-concept), creators and brands are looking into zero-waste solutions, especially ones that dissolve and disappear to eliminate waste completely.
