Better food, for your recovery

Our mission

The idea for ShangMeals springs from the more than 1000 year history of Chinese people using food as medicine for health and wellness. Chinese medicine looks at foods and determines the character of every food. Certain foods are good for different organs, different seasons, and different illnesses or physiological conditions.

We began with foods commonly eaten in China by women during the postpartum period — foods that support the mother's healing and help increase milk flow for the baby. This has been a developing field for centuries and continues to be an important part of Chinese birth culture today.

We wanted to introduce these foods to the United States and encourage their use outside of the Asian communities which may already be familiar with them. In order to serve a broader part of the population, we also include foods eaten for recovering from illness or surgery, and fitness foods.

For restaurants, we provide the tools to reach more customers and grow their business. For riders, we offer flexible earning opportunities. For eaters, we deliver nutritious, healing food right to your door.
