The Thai Power Probiotics & Flavor of Thai Food Health Wellness project aims to elevate the cultural value of these fermented foods and transform them into health products that meet modern lifestyles.
“Khao Mak” stands out for its unique flavor, identity, and health benefits, drawing special attention as a probiotic-rich food.
