They are known in Bengali as dhoodh chhatu, from the word for "milk" as they are said to smell like milk when dried. in Laos cook as soup and barbecue. The dried samples of DOA−10 contained protein, carbohydrates, ash and fat at 13.71%, 68.08%, 12.06% and 2.49% respectively. Moreover, they contained high contents of both macronutrients and micronutrients:, potassium (43,100 mg/kg), calcium (492.00mg/kg), magnesium (1,046.66 mg/kg), sodium (936.33 mg/kg), iron (283.21 mg/kg), zinc (53.79 mg/kg) and manganese (17.55 mg/kg). These results confirmed that DOA−10 is a promising strain for commercial cultivation.
