Q: Can you tell me what is the difference between your fermented vegetarian soup and that at home?

A: Thank you very much for your question. Our company is located in the industrial park of Dongke Avenue, Maiji District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province. The country's rare weak alkaline water source is here, which provides unique natural conditions for our fermented vegetarian soup. We use traditional technology for fermentation. All ingredients are fresh vegetables, which are strictly selected, washed with high pressure three times and blanched at high temperature. Five layers of purified water are used throughout the process. After the vegetables are cut, they are placed in the ground tank for fermentation for 72 hours to ensure that the probiotics in the fermented vegetarian soup are complete and active. Such technology and material selection make our fermented vegetarian soup unique in taste and quality.
