Haw Flakes slices 138g

Chinese Haw Flakes Hawthorn Sweets 138g Now Available in the UK!

Haw flakes are thin discs of sweetened Chinese hawthorn pressed into little round stacks. Each slice starts gently sweet and leaves a clean tart finish. The dry texture softens quickly, so the fruit flavour comes through even though the disc is small.

Chinese hawthorn is known as shan zha in Mandarin and has long been used in preserves and snacks in northern China. The flat, stacked haw-flake format became familiar in sweet shops across East and Southeast Asia. Unwrapping a little roll and lifting pieces off like coins is part of the appeal.

Enjoy a few after a savoury meal or set the rolls out as they are with other sweets. Their tart finish goes especially well beside a creamy milk sweet.
