1. Introduction to Lá Sương Sâm
Table of Contents
Lá Sương Sâm (English: Tiliacora triandra leaves) is a miraculous plant native to Southeast Asia, widely used in Vietnam to create a refreshing, jelly-like dessert known as Thạch Sương Sâm. Unlike gelatin or agar-agar which require heat, these leaves contain natural pectin that thickens into a firm, emerald-green jelly simply by crushing them with water at room temperature.
At Vinahugo, we supply two varieties: Sương Sâm Lông (Hairy leaves – preferred for its smoother, firmer jelly) and Sương Sâm Láng (Smooth leaves). Our leaves are harvested from mature vines to ensure the highest concentration of natural thickening agents and nutrients.
