In a society of rapid economic development, the pace of life accelerates, the environment deteriorates, interpersonal strife is constant, and stress is boundless—all of which deal a severe blow to modern people’s mental and physical health. On top of that, the air, soil, and water have been so gravely polluted that they can no longer nurture truly natural medicinal plants. The market is flooded with Chinese herbs tainted by pesticides and heavy metals. Whether it is a treasured “ancestral secret formula” or a hard-won “imperial court recipe,” unscrupulous merchants without commercial ethics “enhance” them with counterfeits, so instead of reaping benefits people suffer harm, leading to premature health decline.
In light of this, Dong Lai Bao Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd. devoted itself in 2008 to developing the medicinal-cuisine wellness market and natural, non-toxic (pesticide-free) fruit-and-vegetable hotpots. For more than a full year it continuously innovated and researched every kind of broth beneficial to the human body. In May 2009, Dong Lai Bao’s Vegetarian Kitchen made its debut trial sale to overwhelming acclaim.
