Roots of Quality Foods deliver health, convenience, and sustainability with good flavor!
For us, food is not just a simple necessity. It tells a story, embodies the joy and happiness of sharing, strengthens social and family ties, and passes on traditions. More importantly, a healthy diet can make life better. Apricot Kernel Drink is a perfect example of this, and is the origin of how we started Roots of Quality Foods.
The idea for our first product, Apricot Kernel Drink, actually came from my mother. There was a time when apricot kernel drink was people's favourite in Taiwan. It tastes creamy and smooth and has an elegant and charming aroma. Taiwanese people enjoyed drinking it all year round, cold in summer and warm in winter. To allow our family to enjoy the exceptional taste from the old days, my mother would get up early in the morning, grind the apricot kernels with a stone mill, add water and sugar, and simmer it into a delicious drink. For our family, this is the taste of a nutritious breakfast and happiness.
In order to make plant-based milks that people in Taiwan, and even the world, will find delicious and love, our develop our products based on these principles.
As we all know, each litre of dairy milk has a carbon footprint of 2.4 kg, at least twice that of plant-based milk. According to industrial economic statistics, with an annual dairy milk intake of 28 litres per person, 25-million population would easily consume 700,000 tonnes of milk in a year! I wonder if, like us, you've heard the sea level wail?
Plant-based milk is a healthy, low-carbon footprint, and trendy diet. The food industry continues to thrive as many companies invest in innovative technologies to mitigate global climate change. Unfortunately, in Asia, except soymilk, we are still very short of plant-based milk production facilities and research technologies, resulting in most plant-based milk being imported from overseas, without a significant improvement in our carbon footprint.
We thought that with the delicious, convenient and creative Roots of Quality Foods recipes, we would be easy to break the boundary between carnivore and vegetarian and convert the nutrients in your diet to plant-based sources. The best way to be kind to the planet is to occasionally add plant-based ingredients to your meals to make your body lighter and healthier. Healthy for You, Healthier for the Planet! In the pursuit of a better life, we must also remember to care for the planet we live on.
From now on, we must work together to create more fun in our lives. You can join us to make Roots of Quality Foods down-to-earth, warm and interesting. We will keep you updated with our latest news via Instagram, so feel free to follow us.
