Good in Taste, Convenient for Taking
|
There is a saying "Good medicine tastes bitter" among the people, because most of the concoctions of Chinese drugs are bitter. Some people, especially children, develop an aversion to the bitterness of Chinese drugs and refuse to take them.
Most of the drugs used in a medicated diet are both edible and medicinal, and retain the properties of food: color, sweet smell, flavor, and so on. Even if part of them are Chinese herbs, their nature and flavor are taken into consideration and made into a tasty medicated diet by mixing them with food and carefully cooking them. So it can be said that medicated diet is good in taste and convenient to take.
