Hasma
Dessert from frog glands, popular in Asia
Hasma (harsmar, hashima) is a Chinese and widely Central Asian dessert ingredient made from the dried fatty tissue found near the fallopian tubes of true frogs, typically the Asiatic grass frog (Rana chensinensis). Because of its whitish appearance, hasma is often called "snow frog fat".[1] Hasma is relatively expensive, so it is reserved for special occasions and in high-end restaurants.
