Forgotten foods can be a lifesaver

HULU LANGAT: Ingredients such as unripe watermelons and millet (sekoi) might sound foreign to many Malaysians but they were in fact commonly eaten in the past by locals.

Crops For the Future (CFF) CEO Prof Sayed Azam-Ali (pic), a firm believer in saving centuries-old recipes, hopes that ingredients such as these could be re-introduced into the modern diet so that populations in future would have not only enough food to eat but also have a more diversified diet.
