Jelly is one of the most popular green drinks in summer, especially in the south, where it's loved for its ability to cool down the body and quench thirst. It typically sells for 0.5 to 0.8 yuan per bowl and has always been a favorite among locals. The following is a detailed description of the traditional processing method.
1. **Raw Materials**:
For each batch, you'll need 500 grams of jelly grass and 1500 grams of rice. Jelly grass, also known as "immortal grass" or "jelly plant," is a perennial herb that produces a gel-like substance when boiled. This gives it its name. Last year, the retail price of dried jelly grass was between 10 to 14 yuan per kilogram. A typical yield from 667 square meters of land can range from 1500 to 2500 kilograms. Due to damage from frost and snow last year, the price is expected to rise this year. Processing jelly grass into jelly powder can significantly increase profits.
2. **Processing Method**:
(1) Soak the rice for 4 hours, then grind it into a fine slurry.
(2) Wash the jelly grass thoroughly and place it in a pot with an appropriate amount of water.
(3) Boil the jelly grass, then use a filter bag to strain and extract the liquid, which will serve as the base or "mother liquor."
(4) Transfer the mother liquor into a 40 kg cauldron and add more water. Heat it over fire.
(5) Once boiling, reduce the heat and slowly pour in the rice slurry while continuously stirring. After about 30 minutes, take a spoonful of the mixture and let it cool on the ground. If it solidifies into pieces, the mixture is ready. Clean the pot.
(6) Pour the cooled jelly into two clean containers, ensuring they are free from pests and dust. After fully cooling, the result is a clear, flexible, black-green food. Cut it into small pieces and enjoy with honey, sugar, or soy sauce with chili water. It’s smooth, refreshing, and has a unique flavor that not only quenches thirst but also satisfies hunger. Regular consumption may help with heat-clearing, lowering blood pressure, and even cancer prevention.
With just 1 kg of "cool crystal," you can make up to 150 kg of jelly. The processed jelly powder costs only 0.09 yuan per 5 grams, and selling 50 kg per day can bring in a net income of 80 to 150 yuan. If you sell the raw jelly crystals, the profit potential is even greater. There's a huge market gap with endless business opportunities.
For those interested, a 3 kg package of delicious cold powder crystals costs 58 yuan, and 3 kg of dried jelly grass is available for 68 yuan (both include postage). Additionally, the full set of technical data covering cultivation, processing, and preservation of jelly crystals is available for 28 yuan. This is a great opportunity for anyone looking to start a profitable and healthy business.
