Homemade Gelili Jelly

Overview

Gelidium, also known as sea jelly, red silk, phoenix tail, etc., is a type of red algae. It is completely transparent, like jelly, and has a refreshing, crisp and tender taste. It can be mixed with cold dishes or made into jelly. Gelidium is also the main raw material for refining agar. Agar, also known as agar, agar, and gelatin, is an important plant gum, a fibrous food, and soluble in hot water. Agar can be used to make cold foods, jelly, or as a culture medium for microorganisms. Gelilium is rich in minerals and vitamins, especially the alginate substances it contains, which have antihypertensive effects. The starch sulfate contained in it is a polysaccharide substance, which has lipid-lowering functions and has a certain preventive and therapeutic effect on hypertension and hyperlipidemia. There is nothing more pleasant than eating a bowl of cool Gelili jelly in the hot summer
