In the past, jeonggwa was made for special days or rituals such as weddings and sixtieth birthday ceremonies. Chewy and sweet jeonggwa was a food that could only be tasted on special days because it took a lot of time and effort to make. Bellflowers are used for food and medicinal purposes, and are effective for respiratory diseases such as coughing, phlegm, and asthma.
