Medallion Hawthron
$18.00
In Chinese herbal practice, Shan Zha — hawthorn fruit — is valued for helping the body move through food stagnation, particularly after rich or heavy meals. Its traditional nature is sour and sweet, slightly warm, and associated with the Spleen, Stomach, and Liver systems. In a herbal blend, it is often chosen to support digestion and the movement of Qi and Blood.
Our grower prepares the mature fruit as dried slices; we select them for their rounded, medallion-like shape, red skin, and substantial fruit flesh. Ancient texts prize hawthorn that is large, red, and fleshy — qualities that guide our selection as well.
A familiar fruit that appears often in many different Chinese herbal infusions and recipes that are related to digestion.
The name reflects the fruit’s round, coin-like slices. Their shape makes the hawthorn’s embedded nutrition easier to release into your brew, while the red skin reflects the health of the fruit when harvested.
