‘China’s hottest woman’: the driving force behind crunchy chilli sensation Lao Gan Ma

here is a saying about the south-western Chinese province of Guizhou: “Not three feet of flat land, not three days without rain, not a family with three silver coins.” But, with the help of a spicy condiment, Tao Huabi, also known as China’s “hottest woman”, has well and truly defied this rule.

Lao Gan Ma, iconic in China, is increasingly appearing in cupboards and fridges in the rest of the world. It is so popular in fact that Tao Huabi is worth far more than three silver coins. Forbes China estimates her fortune at $1.05bn. Today, according to its website, the company produces 1.3 million bottles daily. Heinz Ketchup produces 1.8 million, and Huy Fong Sriracha – also known as “Rooster Sauce” – 55,000.Photograph: Imaginechina Limited/AlamyMiranda Brown, professor of Chinese studies at the University of Michigan, who is writing a book on the history of Chinese food, says that in China, Lao Gan Ma’s popularity is partly due to Tao’s authenticity.

frankly, my chilli sauce taste better

'The German Federal Institute for risk Assessment recommends that the amount of MOSH migration from packaging to food should be controlled within 4 mg/kg; The mineral oil content of these several types of chili peppers far EXCEEDS these requirements;'

Love it! 😍

地无三里平、天无三日晴、人无三分银------“Not three feet of flat land, not three days without rain, not a family with three silver coins.”原来是这么写的。。。

No idea why anyone would buy China-made food items. Their food safety standards are dubious. You can easily buy substitutes made in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan…

Kitschy communist branding? Nostalgia for Socialist times? You just can’t help yourself can you? If it’s from China it must somehow be evil

Wow it's almost as if this tweet has time-travelled from a decade or more ago.
