Four high school students in the southern province of Yala have earned high praise from Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha for winning the New Gen Inventors Award 2023 with their innovative product made from galangal (Alpinia Galangal) leaves, which can kill parasites in raw food.

 

Deputy Government Spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek said that the powdered extract from galangal leaves, “Boega”, is for people who love to eat raw or half-cooked food, which is often infested with parasites that can cause diseases.

 

The product can easily be used by pouring the powdered extract into a bowl of water and then soaking the raw food in it for 15-20 minutes. The food is then washed with clean water and is ready to be consumed.
