Solomon Islands: Consuming local produce encouraged
The Ministry of Health is encouraging islanders to eat more local root crops, fruits, and vegetables and less refined foods like white rice. White rice, a staple food in many diets, has been linked to an increasing number of type II diabetes on the island. Brown rice, according to officials, is more beneficial to white rice and offers more fiber and nutrients, similar to the root vegetables found on the islands. Solomon Star.
