Rice-based bakery products showcased at Taipei International Bakery ShowINNOVATIVE: Yu Shao-min, who combines popped rice with produce such as tea, bean curd and peanut butter, said such processing approaches add value to the cropBy Esme Yeh / Staff reporterThe Agriculture and Food Agency has set up a pavilion at the Taipei International Bakery Show to promote rice-based bakery products along with the domestic rice industry. Agriculture and Food Agency officials and food industry representatives pose at the agency’s pavilion at the Taipei International Bakery Show at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center yesterday. More than 100 rice-based products are on display at the show, including rice noodles, rice cakes, rice flour and crispy rice treats. Huang encouraged the public to choose rice-based products made from domestically grown rice, as they are produced with much fewer “food miles” and have a smaller carbon footprint. “We tried to combine popped rice with different locally grown produce such as tea, peanut butter or fermented bean curd,” he said.
