I discovered by chance that candied haws was also invented as a medicine for treating illnesses. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the emperor’s concubine did not want to eat or drink after a banquet. Her epigastrium and abdominal pain were distended, and her body became thinner. The imperial doctors believed that she was physically weak. After taking a lot of supplements but no improvement, he had no choice but to search for a doctor all over the country. A charlatan revealed the list and finally prescribed a prescription, which was to boil hawthorn and rock sugar together and take five or six pills before meals. The emperor didn't believe it at first, but he had no other way. After trying, the concubine unexpectedly returned to her previous state. Whether it is true or not, hawthorn can indeed strengthen the stomach and help digestion. Later, what was recognized by the emperor spread to the people. For the convenience of use, people strung the hawthorns one by one, forming today's candied haws.

I found a lot of hawthorn in the fruit shop in November. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first. After my child had a fever, his appetite became very bad. Hawthorn suddenly became the food I wanted to cook for him. The fever had just subsided. It’s great for children to eat some hawthorn. Friends who have children at home may want to try this preparation method.
