The crystallised jelly or วุ้นกรอบ(TH) is a traditional Thai sweet that is quite similar to the Japanese sweet Wagashi.

The key ingredient of our Crystallised jelly is high quality agar-agar powder which makes the the texture firm and sugar is the main ingredient to preserve it. PRANSUK has developed the amount of sugar use to create subtle sweetness in our every desserts that customers can enjoy with a cup of tea.

Traditionally, this jelly was widely seen in small dice shapes in bright colours but has been slowly forgotten. It has just recently become popular again in social media among the young Thai generation. The final process of making can be done by sun-drying or leaving at room temperature for 2-3 days until the sugar become crystallised and creates a crispy texture outside but leaving inside chewy. However, this method is long-process and London’s weather does not allow us! So, we use a dehydrator machine to dry them overnight. It gives them a perfect crystal coat and is very hygienic.

These are the perfect treats to brighten up your grazing table at an event you are hosting. They do not need to only be used for events but if you just want to treat yourself to a new sweet treat to snack on. These jellies in a jar are perfect decorations for events such as baby showers, brunches, afternoon teas, chilled night in with friends, the list is endless.

One of the key ingredients in our crystallised jellies is agar-agar powder. Agar-agar is a natural vegetable gelatine counterpart. It is white and semi-translucent when it is sold in packages as washed and dried strips or in powdered form. Agar-agar can be used to make jellies, pudding and custards. Agar-agar is derived from red algae and has been popular across Asia for centuries. It is derived from plants and is suitable to be used by vegans as it is a substitute for gelatine. Agar-agar has many benefits which include that it gives the sensation of feeling full, so it tends to be used in some diet products. In Asia is also used as a digestive remedy for upset stomachs.
