UNESCO recognises Whanganui's Rewena "indigenous" bread

From First Up, 5:22 am on 19 July 2022

A few weeks back we heard from Moana Ellis from the Local Democracy Reporting Programme about a Maori baker whose rewena bread has been recognised as culturally significant by The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization . The First Up crew love carbs (some of them anyway...) Not only that, the story behind George Jackson's "famous-in-Whanganui" bread is pretty special, too. So Nathan Rarere caught up with the man himself.
