Where is Chadong jelly a specialty?

Jansu. We arrived at Chadong on a summer day, and the weather was relatively hot. We saw a few jelly vendors along the street, so we went to buy some to try and cool off. It is said that in the ethnic minority areas of western Hunan, the history of people eating jelly cannot be traced back or verified. It is just passed down from generation to generation, and it seems that people started eating it hundreds of years ago. It is no exaggeration to say that jelly is one of the most unique snacks in border towns. People love to eat it. It is not only delicious, but also can relieve the heat. It is rich in vitamins and other nutrients. It is a healthy food with low calorie and high dietary fiber. According to the "Dictionary of Chinese Medicine": Mung bean jelly can "clear away heat and detoxify, treat the first onset of pain, ulcers, scalds, trauma from falls, and antipyretic drugs and poisons caused by alcohol and food."

Chatong's jelly and Jelly jelly in other places is different. It is similar in shape to jelly, but softer than jelly. It is crystal clear and water-like. Generally, it can be eaten after adding brown sugar water. Sweet, sour, smooth and cool, with a bit of fragrance, it tastes very refreshing.
