Ahmad Alhraki: Food and Banana Bread

ahmad alhraki: The men have called their emerging business Piece of the East, according to The Chronicle Herald. It's the beginning of a business but it's also a fine display of the Syrian culture and traditions. Rafat Harb and brothers Alaa and Ahmad Alhraki teamed up with the Parker Street Food Bank to upcycle' excess food into jam, pickles, banana bread and other delicacies, after they noticed perfectly edible food being thrown out around Halifax. It's a way for me to express my culture, said 19-year-old Harb, through a translator. For example, bananas that are starting to turn brown will be used to make banana bread. Alaa told the Chronicle Herald that none of the food was expired and is perfectly safe to eat when they take it from the food bank. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
