Another rising star in the nutritional supplement market is Pueraria mirifica powder, commonly referred to as wild kudzu root. Originally an element of traditional Thai cuisine, it became an instant sensation when it began to be sold in Japan and Taiwan recently. Like green papayas, it is said to stimulate the growth of breast cells.
另一種保健市場中的新星──白高棵（也就是俗稱的野葛根），原是泰國傳統食材，最近被引進日本、台灣，造成風潮，據說功能類似青木瓜，具有促進乳腺細胞生長發育的功效。
