About Black jelly
Black jelly, also known as grass jelly or cincau, is a sweet, gelatin-like dessert popular in Southeast Asian cuisines. Typically made from the leaves and stalks of the mesona chinensis plant, its characteristic dark color and slightly bitter flavor pair well with sweeteners like syrup, condensed milk, or fruit. Nutritionally, black jelly is low in calories, fat, and cholesterol, making it a light dessert option. It contains antioxidants and minerals, such as magnesium and potassium, which may support overall health. Known for its cooling properties in traditional medicine, it’s often consumed in hot climates to reduce body heat. However, commercial preparations may include added sugars that can diminish its health benefits. Black jelly is versatile, often served in drinks, desserts, or ice-based dishes, and provides a unique texture and flavor that complements various Asian-inspired treats.
