Our Story
THE PASSION FOR NOODLES
The origin of noodles is ambiguous. Claims have been made that the noodle was invented by people of Qijia culture, of Arabian and of Mediterranean origin. Given the scarcity of physical evidence, it is unlikely that the question of origin can even be answered with certainty.
In 2005, a team of archaeologists working in the People's Republic of China reported finding an earthenware bowl that contained foxtail millet and broomcorn millet. noodles at the Lajia archaeological site, arguably hailing from the late neolithic period. But this claim was disputed by later research,which suggested that noodles simply cannot be produced from millet, a cereal that lacks gluten, a necessary protein.
The earliest written record of noodles is found in a book dated to the Eastern Han period (25–220). Noodles, often made from wheat dough, became a staple food for people of the Han Dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE). During the Tang Dynasty, the noodles were first cut into strips, and in the Yuan Dynasty, the making of dried noodles began.

Instant noodles were invented by Momofuku Ando and first marketed in Japan in 1958. According to Ando's method, a bundle of fresh noodles is flash-fried, which dries them out and provides for a long shelf life.
