bean jelly. Snacks with China characteristics are the most difficult to translate into English.

If we have to find an English counterpart for it, we might as well analyze its composition, cool --cool, powder-here is a gelatinous agar made of beans, so we found the English word agar or jelly. Agar looks like this. It is dotted with Pineapple and lychees.

liangfen: a cool agar dish that is very typical in the area. Made from the flour or green peas. So it seems that when we mention bean jelly, we can explain it to foreigners as "a kind of cool agar".
