KUCHING: A Sarawak crop research agency has found a way to turn sago starch into a grain-like product resembling rice.
State Education, Innovation and Talent Development Minister Datuk Seri Roland Sagah Wee Inn said today that state-owned CRAUN Research Sdn Bhd has made a breakthrough in formulating starch from sago to be made into the rice alternative.“If you do not have a discerning taste, you will not be able to differentiate between ordinary rice and sago starch rice,” he said in his winding-up speech.

Then you can produce the required amount that we need.
