Why Are Carbs Always Discarded?

Studies have shown that carbohydrates like rice, bread and noodles are the most widely discarded food group in Singapore. Whether we eat at home or dine out, carbs have long been taken for granted as ‘cheap fillers’.
Our two zero waste newbies, Melissa and Benji, also have this careless attitude, so host Isaac decides to get them toiling at a mini rice field – right here in Singapore!
With a newfound respect for the resources and effort it takes to grow a single grain of rice, Melissa and Benji head to the kitchen to learn ways to transform leftover carbs.
They cap off their learning journey with a unique cook-off – utilising as many types of stale carbohydrates as they can! What kind of new life can they breathe into these previously unloved staples?
