| Fermented Food play in an important role in the Thai diet and in the life of Thai people. Most Thai eat a fermented product in one form or another every day. As a country with a seasonal tropical climate Thailand is very dry except for the 3-4 months of the rainy season. Therefore, little food can be obtained for several months of the year when there is a shortage of water and before the crops are ready for harvesting, making food storage and preservation important factors in maintaining food supplies in rural areas. |
