Chinese hawthorn fruit (Crataegus pinnatifida) is native to China and is commonly found in temperate regions throughout East Asia. The plant produces small, bright red to orange berries that are typically about the size of a cherry and have a tart flavor. In herbal medicine, both the berries and the leaves are used for their potential cardiovascular benefits, including support for heart health and digestion. Traditionally, Chinese hawthorn has been utilized in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for centuries to promote digestion, improve circulation, and treat various heart-related conditions. The fruit is often prepared as a tea, extract, or in jams and candies, highlighting its importance in both culinary and medicinal applications.*
