About this dish
Haw flakes are Chinese sweets made from the fruit of the Chinese hawthorn. They are a light or dark pink candy, usually formed into discs two millimeters thick. They are dry and sometimes crumbly in texture. They are most commonly packaged in cylindrical stacks with label art resembling Chinese fireworks. The sweet and tangy snack is usually served to guests along with tea or as a treat for children. They are sometimes eaten alongside bitter Chinese herbal medicine to aid digestion.
