Hashma known as snow jelly is the fat extracted from body part of fallopian tubes of the Chinese forest frog, which resides in China's Chang Bai Mountain region. It survives on wild mountain fruits and insects and stays at the bottom of the river for up to five months during the winter period. Hence it is also known as the Snow Frog due to its resistance to the winter coldness.
Hashma comes as irregular flat pieces and flakes.
