Vietnamese women spend 679 hours a year preparing meals at home.

Home-cooked meals are considered the foundation of the family, creating loving bonds.

This means that they spend more than 2 hours every day preparing family meals. Each meal cooked by Vietnamese mothers usually consists of about 3 dishes, of which 97% are Vietnamese dishes. Notably, these meals are also "designed" based on the preferences of each family member as the mother is always the one who understands the father and children best.

The value of home cooked meals

There used to be a perception that women being housewives meant “no economic contribution” to their families and society. However, studies have shown a surprising figure, that the economic value converted from women’s contributions to family care is 3 times higher than the technology industry.

Specifically, by 2022, Oxfam estimates that the value of women's unpaid care work globally could reach $10.8 trillion per year. This huge figure is a testament to the enormous contribution of mothers not only to the family but also at the societal level.

At the same time, the mother's care time is not only an economic contribution but also has invaluable spiritual value, contributing significantly to the foundation of family happiness. Home-cooked meals are the center of family life, a place to share intimate moments.

In addition, according to a survey by two market research companies Kantar & Q&Me on mothers’ cooking habits, they prioritize the physical and mental health of their families. In particular, to ensure family health, nutrition is the most important consideration, followed by convenience in cooking, so that kitchen responsibilities are maintained in balance.

The whole family shares the responsibility of taking care of meals with mother.

In recent years, as family values ​​are increasingly promoted, activities to spread gratitude to mothers have also received much support.

Recently, the campaign "Like a mother loves" by CP Vietnam has attracted attention by suggesting understanding between family members and their mothers, encouraging everyone to roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, do housework, and share the responsibility of taking care of the family.

Sharing kitchen work with mothers and wives is also a way to spread love in the family.

It can be seen that with today's busy life, more and more products can help people save a lot of time for cooking, including pre-processed and pre-cooked products.

Many modern brands such as CP Vietnam have introduced many lines of quality processed foods that meet international standards and suit modern tastes, making the kitchen experience easier than ever.

This Mother’s Day (May 12), start by understanding your mother’s love language. For example, give her compliments or thanks for the food she cooks. And don’t forget to give her some extra time to rest by personally preparing a meal for the family, even if it’s just a simple dish. Show your love to your mother today!
