Have you ever seen this kind of black jelly ?
Extracted from Mesona, grass jelly is a very popular snack in summer in Taiwan.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, grass jelly can help us stay cool and relive sluggish in scorching day.
Besides all above, grass jelly also can rejuvenate our skin.
We seldom eat it raw and instead go with syrup or honey.
Every time I eat shaved ice, I always like to add mango and grass jelly as toppings, which is yummy and refreshing.
Black color is not appetizing as compared to other pink or red jelly but it taste really good in summer.

The name, however, is a little scary. It makes it sound like it's made from grass. Ew.
Wikipedia says Mesona is a kind of mint. Perhaps they should call it "black mint jelly". That would sound a lot better.
I have ate this jelly numerous times but I don't know what Mesona is.
I think "black mint jelly" is a proper name because grass jelly sounds like fodder. : )
