Generic Dried Hawthorn Fruits (500g) – Crataegus Pinnatifida, Hawthorn Dry

Overview

From hillside harvests, Generic offers dried hawthorn fruit thoughtfully prepared to preserve color, aroma, and character. The fruits are large, about 0.8 to 1.4 cm, hand sliced, dried to a brown to brownish red surface with delicate wrinkles and a calyx at the tip. This hawthorn variant comes from Crataegus pinnatifida, a species prized for its bright, tart note and sturdy growth in fields and home gardens.

Kitchen versatility

• Hawthorn soup: rinse, remove pedicles and seeds, simmer until flavors meld, then sweeten to taste for a comforting, fruit-forward drink.
• Hawthorn tea: grind the dry fruit, divide into ten sachets, and steep a sachet in hot water for a daily cup.
• Hawthorn with chrysanthemum and honeysuckle tea: break the fruit and combine with chrysanthemum and honeysuckle for a fragrant infusion with a bright fruit note.
• Dried orange peel and hawthorn blend: mix hawthorn with orange peel and lotus leaf, grind, and steep for a lively, balanced beverage.
• Dried hawthorn with melon rind blend: combine hawthorn with melon rind and other botanicals, simmer to release fresh notes.

Taste, aroma, and texture

• Color ranges from brown to brownish red with a gentle shine and fine surface wrinkles—signs of careful drying.
• Flavor leans toward sunny fruit with tart-sweet edges, a clean finish, and a light, aromatic bouquet.
• Texture is chewy yet versatile, suitable for nibbling, rehydrating for drinks, or enriching soups.

Storage and care

Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container away from direct light to preserve color and aroma. Keep away from moisture to maintain quality over time.
