Grass jelly, also known as cincau, is a delicacy originating from Southeast Asia and East Asia, often enjoyed in desserts and beverages. Made from the boiled leaves of the Mesona chinensis plant, it is then mixed with potassium carbonate and cooled to form a gel-like consistency. Grass jelly is naturally low in calories and fat, making it a refreshing option for those seeking a lighter treat. It contains small amounts of dietary fiber and antioxidants, which may support digestion and overall health. Often served with syrups, condensed milk, or alongside tapioca pearls, its nutritional profile can vary depending on additional toppings. While grass jelly itself is relatively healthy, added sugars or accompaniments could increase caloric content significantly. Its cooling properties are also prized in traditional medicine, believed to reduce inflammation and balance body heat. Grass jelly is a versatile, nutritious treat rooted in centuries of culinary tradition.
