Edible MOFs are on the menu as the chef presents his culinary creation. In their Communication on page 8630 ff., J. F. Stoddart, O. M. Yaghi, and co‐workers describe the synthesis of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) solely from food‐grade ingredients, namely γ‐cyclodextrin, alkali‐metal salts, water, and alcohol. These renewable, biocompatible CD‐MOFs are robust, permanently porous, and are capable of storing organic molecules. Picture design: Aleksander Bosoy.
