List of grass jelly plants

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.^[1] Some are also used for making beverages.^[2]

There are two main types, green grass jelly and black grass jelly.^[3] Green grass jelly plants include Premna trichostoma and Cyclea barbata, while black (also called janggelan) includes species like P. palustre^[3]

In Indonesian, grass jelly plants are called tanaman cincau.^[4] In Javanese, these plants are called camcao, juju, or kepleng and in Sundanese they are called camcauh or tahulu.^[5]

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