Fusion kamote
|
|
NATIONAL Rice Program Director Frisco Malabanan’s advice that
Filipinos ought to consider eating kamote and corn, instead of or in
addition to rice, is worth chewing on.
Malabanan said that while there is ample rice in
the country, white corn, cassava, yam, kamote and other root crops
are good substitutes in case of a shortage.
Kamote (sweet potato) is a high-value crop and
kamote production is growing. Corn, not rice, is the main staple in
many Visayan provinces, he said.
