An edible food wrap for a variety of comestible is described. A peeling device is employed to produce a thin, elongated strip of a suitable edible material. The precisely cut strip can then be efficiently and completely deodorized and decolorized by soaking in a PH controlled alkaline water solution. Adding color to the strip is done preferentially with naturally occurring colors added directly to the alkaline water solution. White vinegar added at this time protects the intensity of the color added to the strip. The food wrap is then ready for use, particularly well suited for the outer covering of sushi.
