What is jelly powder? The difference between jelly and soft jelly
- Jelly powder is a type of powder made from seaweed or natural algae, which serves to create stickiness and thickening for many desserts, typically the jelly dishes commonly seen.
- Crispy jelly powder has the effect of thickening and providing a slight firmness to the final product, while soft jelly powder will create a softness and a wobbly texture for the final product.
- Furthermore, soft jelly powder is often used to cook with various fruit juices to create a beautiful white transparency, while crispy jelly powder will be mixed with coffee, pandan leaves, or chocolate to add another color to the final product.
