FOOD UNWRAPPED: STORE CUPBOARD STAPLES
Channel 4, 8pm
Food Unwrapped celebrates the mighty store cupboard in this look back at some favourite investigations into the foods we like to keep in easy reach.
Kate Quilton, above, unearths the secret behind peanut butter’s spectacularly long shelf life, and solves some Marmite mysteries.
Jimmy Doherty is in Sri Lanka to find out how – and why – lentils are sold split not whole, while Matt Tebbutt witnesses extraordinary anchovy fishing off the coast of Italy.
Jimmy enlists the help of chef pal Gennaro Contaldo, to find out what is so special about risotto rice and why does it cost twice as much as normal rice. Then Kate returns to investigate whether it’s OK to feed dog food to your cat, and vice versa.
