Overview

When I saw the words "Hawthorn", let me first... feel sour for a while~ It was really sour. Hahaha. Let’s code again: I remember when I was a child, hawthorn existed in the form of digestion pills. In a sealed wax shell, a sour and sweet pill was delicately wrapped. I really wanted to take another after taking one. Although in the end, the adults refused on the pretext of taking medicine and could not take more, but I thought to myself, how could there be such a delicious medicine? Adults all say, isn’t this made from red fruits? Isn’t it too sour to eat? When I grow up, I still like hawthorn, but now I will tinker with it a little, such as making hawthorn paste like today, which can be used to spread on bread and other foods. It enriches the taste and relieves cravings, and is more conducive to the release of hawthorn’s initial effect~~~Digestion (Baidu) Hawthorn is also known as red fruit, sour hawthorn, and Shanlihong. Mainly distributed in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Liaoning, Henan and other places.
