Background Rice. Most of us have grown up eating rice without questioning how rice is farmed or wondering if there is a better way rice can be farmed. For 12,000 years, rice was commercialised largely the same way - polishing away the nutritious bran and germ and selling the carb-rich part of the grain. According to the UNEP, we throw away roughly one-third of the food produced which is fit for human consumption every year. Today, we no longer cast away the bran and germ. In doing so, we reduce the amount that's discarded into landfills and incinerators. In doing so, we reduce carbon emissions and make life on earth a whole lot more sustainable. Imagine a world, a tomorrow where we re-harvest and upcycle discarded sidestreams from bran to germ to soy protein and spent tea leaves at scale. Upcycling at scale, we will be able to make a real impact. This is our mission as the Open Sesame team of At-Sunrice Academy - to disrupt the way we produce food to promote sustainability. Upcycling was featured as a top trend of 2021 by both Food Network Magazine and Whole Foods. WellSpent Evenings with At-Sunrice As a run-up to World Environment Day on 5 Jun, we are hosting a series of dinner experiences. Titled "WellSpent Evenings with At-Sunrice", guests will be treated to a journey of discovery. A journey that aims to awaken in all of us, the desire to learn how we can re-harvest instead of discarding. And create from spent, familiar and also new flavours and textures, and artfully assemble our creations into luxe dining experiences. Tour our Wine Academy and Kitchen Labs The event begins with a glass of wine in our Wine Academy where our sommeliers will introduce you to sustainable wines. What makes a sustainable wine? Sip and savour the wine as you get a quick, brief introduction to some of the labels and their sustainable farming practices before being whisked away on a private tour of our kitchens where you'll hear first hand from our R&D Chefs: Chef Kelly, Chef Ying Wei and Chef Tais on how they upcycle sidestreams and turn them into nutritious ingredients with flavour and texture.
