A new generation of cheap and sustainable choline‐derived ionic solvents is reported. These solvents are capable of rapidly dissolving and decrystallizing microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in only a few minutes, thus offering an eco‐efficient alternative to the traditional use of imidazolium‐based ionic liquids (see scheme).
