【山楂餅】是童年回憶，喝苦茶必備！
#你鍾意一片片食定成筒食
#有時兩片黏住分不開
#食材星期四
小時候對於吃中藥實在是又愛又恨，不喜歡當然是因為苦，但是吃完中藥後的山楂餅又令人很期待，只要薄薄一塊又甜又酸的山楂餅就可以把口中的苦味全部除去。其實除了吃中藥外，有些人不時也會有口苦。在中醫理論中「苦為火之味」，所以有心火的人都會出現口苦的症狀，這時候也可以吃一片懷舊的山楂片解解苦。山楂片的主要成分為山楂，味道酸甜，可消食健胃，既可沖淡苦味，又不礙中藥的功效，但要注意山楂餅始終經過精製，加入糖分，所以都不宜吃得過多，小吃怡情呀！
山楂﹣性微溫，有消食健胃，行氣散瘀的功效，可治胃氣脹、腹痛、瘀血、腰痛等症狀，更可降血脂和消脂。
