Food in Chinese medicine not only provides energy and nutrition, it can also heal our body like medicine. The balance between ‘yin’ and ‘yang’ is common knowledge in Chinese medicine and traditional food therapy, while the ‘five elements’ are developed from it.

The five basic elements which are metal, wood, water, fire and earth are indispensable in the formation of this material world. In the human body, each of them also represents different organs in our system. In food, there are five major colours referencing five elements: white, green, black, red and yellow. Chinese medicine believes that these different-coloured foods provide nutrition for particular organs.

Based on the five element concept, Veggie Kitchen intends to promote healthy, colorful and tasty vegetarian food, encourage more people to be vegetarian, in order to improve health and achieve our ‘love intention’.
