Good in Taste, Convenient for Taking
There goes the saying "Good medicine tastes bitter" among the people, because most of the decoctions of Chinese drugs are bitter. Some people , especially children, take an aversion to the bitterness of Chinese drugs and refuse to take them. Most of the drugs used in medicated diet are both edible and medicinal, and retain the properties of food: color, sweet-smelling, flavor, and so on. Even if part of them are Chinese herbs, their nature and flavor are taken into consideration and made into tasty medicated diet by mixing hem with food and careful cooking. So it can be said that medicated diet is good in taste and convenient for taking.
良药可口，服食方便
由于中药汤剂多有苦味，故民间有“良药苦口”之说。有些人，特别是儿童多畏其苦而拒绝服药。而药膳使用的多为药、食两用之品，且有食品的色、香、味等特性；即使加入了部分药材，由于注意了药物性味的选择，并通过与食物的调配及精细的烹调，仍可制成美味可口的药膳，故谓“良药可口，服食方便”。
