What is the most healthy food for winter? Hawthorn cake is also a good choice. Hawthorn, also known as mountain red, red fruit, and rouge fruit, has high nutritional and medical value. Because the elderly often eat hawthorn products can enhance appetite, improve sleep, keep calcium in bone and blood constant, prevent atherosclerosis, and prolong life, hawthorn is regarded as "longevity food". Ancient Chinese medical experts have long valued the softening, hardening, and anti accumulation effects of hawthorn. When cooking hard chicken meat, adding a few hawthorns can easily cause it to rot. This indicates that it has the effect of reducing meat accumulation. Traditional Chinese medicine ingredients such as Jiaolanxian, Baohe Wan, and Hawthorn Wan all use hawthorn as their main component; Hawthorn also has functions such as dispersing stasis, stopping bleeding, and refreshing. The characteristic of Old Beijing Hawthorn Cake is that in addition to hawthorn, a little kelp is also added. The taste is sweet, sour, and soft. It not only has a unique flavor, but also is an iodine rich food, which is a health supplement for preventing iodine deficiency and promoting health and intelligence.
