In Chengdu, China, on April 14, 2025, workers drain water from large earthenware jars in a Lao Tan Zi factory warehouse, where vegetables ferment using methods passed down for millennia. This ancestral know-how, deeply rooted in Sichuan culture, relies on precise techniques and strict fermentation times. Inside the jars, cabbage, radishes, and beans slowly transform, developing the tangy and umami flavors typical of the local cuisine.

Packaged molasses are pictured at a local factory on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 10, 2026. The aroma of boiling stacks of sugar lumps fills the air around Tokha on the outskirts of Kathmandu, which is popular for first-class molasses that has high demand in the market. Tokha, an ancient settlement inside the Kathmandu Valley, is believed to have existed since the Malla Period, long before the unification of Nepal by Prithivi Narayan Shah, and currently has around 15 home-based molasses-making industries. The word ''Tokha'' derives from the Newari word ''Tyokha,'' meaning sweet, and molasses have been the main produce of this place for centuries. As many as 1,100 grams of sugar lumps, 'Bheli,' are needed to prepare one kilogram of molasses, and producers can only make a profit of Rs 15-20 through sales. There is no official statistic or data about the consumption and production of molasses, nor the number of people engaged in this business.
