Stone pollen, called stone jelly in other places, is also called iced tea, which is a famous Han snack. Similar to jelly, but because it is made of natural plants, it is healthier than jelly. This kind of food is deeply loved by Hakkas and is suitable for all ages.

The raw material of stone pollen is called stone flower seed, and the scientific name of stone flower seed is false acid pulp.

The seed of this stone flower is very small, about the size of sesame, and it is difficult to see now. Because the traditional method of making "stone pollen" needs to knead the stone flower seeds by hand first, and then make points with lime water, the making method is troublesome and difficult to master, and it is difficult for ordinary people to make it successfully, and it is not hygienic. After the technical improvement, it can be made directly from the stone pollen raw materials purchased in the supermarket. It is healthy, convenient, simple and hygienic, and many people can make stone pollen at home.

Stone pollen has a strong vitality, which can last at least from February to 1 1 month every year. Especially in summer, if you eat a spoonful of cool stone pollen, you will only feel cool all over, and the summer heat can be eliminated immediately. It was brought to the south by Hakkas in the early years and belongs to one of the traditional Hakka dishes.
