About Hawthorn Berries
I remember eating these little hawthorn flakes when I was a kid. It was tart, tangy and just sweet enough to trick a kid thinking it was candy! I never knew what a real Hawthorn looked like or questioned where it came from. But sure I loved those little hawthorn flakes that comes wrapped in paper.
Hawthorn berry desserts are important winter delicacies in Northern China. This small bright red fruit resembles a tiny apple: white flesh but less juicy than an apple. It is tart with an astringent flavour if eaten raw, so it is usually cooked or made into desserts or candied snacks - ex. tanghulu 糖葫芦.
