Hongguo tea
Red fruit tea is learned from Bei Tai, which is called stir-fried red fruit. Red fruit, also known as hawthorn, drops big and red in the north, which is different from the south. I remember that when I was in my hometown, I dried the hawthorn and boiled it in water, because the hawthorn in my hometown was small and a little astringent. The most common ways to eat are ice sugar gourd, fruit peony, hawthorn cake, and hawthorn slices in winter. When I was a child, I often ate hawthorn slices, small rolls after small rolls, sour and sweet. I took a thin piece and slowly melted it in my mouth. I was reluctant to chew it, for fear that it would be gone after eating it.

The small drop of red fruit is very nutritious. Hawthorn slices contain a variety of vitamins, tartaric acid, citric acid, hawthorn acid, malic acid, etc., as well as brass, lactones, carbohydrates, protein, fat and calcium, phosphorus, iron and other minerals, and the lipolytic enzyme contained in it can promote the digestion of fatty foods. Promote gastric juice secretion and increase gastric enzymes and other functions. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hawthorn has the effects of eliminating accumulation and stagnation, astringent and stopping diarrhea, and promoting blood circulation and dispelling blood stasis. Indications for eating stagnation, chest and diaphragm fullness, hernia, blood stasis and amenorrhea. Hawthorn contains pharmaceutical ingredients such as mountain terpenoids and brasses, which have significant blood vessel dilating and blood pressure reducing effects. It has the functions of strengthening myocardium, resisting arrhythmia, and regulating blood lipids and cholesterol content.

    Online special note of caution: Pregnant women suffering from morning sickness should not eat hawthorn! During early pregnancy reactions, women tend to prefer sour fruits, but do not choose hawthorn because it has the effect of breaking blood stasis, can stimulate uterine contractions, and may induce a miscarriage! Taking it postpartum can promote uterine recovery. Speaking of my red fruit tea, why do I call it red fruit tea? Because I feel it's about the same method as making pomelo tea or jujube tea... Hehe, just a little twist!
