Yes, it can be used in the packaging of food. It is more environmentally friendly than plastic or aluminum, but it is also more expensive, so some more environmentally friendly companies have started using it.

Jute is the fibre of varieties of Asian plants; it is used mainly to make burlap, rope and sacking. Jute is also the name of any of the plants from which the fibre is obtained.

Jute leaves are eaten in Nigeria and the Philippines. The shredded leaves are added to other plant leaves (with or without adding fish or meat) to make a soup.
