List of grass jelly plants explained

Grass jelly is a gelatinous dessert that is usually made from a plant in the mint family called Platostoma palustre. It and similar desserts can be made from other grass jelly plants. Some are also used for making beverages.[1]

There are two main types, green grass jelly and black grass jelly.[2] Green grass jelly plants include Premna trichostoma and Cyclea barbata, while black (also called Indonesian: janggelan) includes species like P. palustre

In Indonesian, grass jelly plants are called Indonesian: tanaman cincau.[3] In Javanese, these plants are called Javanese: camcao, Javanese: juju, or Javanese: kepleng and in Sundanese they are called Sundanese: camcauh or Sundanese: tahulu.[4]

There are other plants that could possibly be used for making grass jelly but are not currently known to be used as such.
