The fruit of Ficus pumila , by h9430500

The fruit of Ficus pumila var. awkeotsang is used in cuisine. Its fruit is turned inside out and dried. The seeds are scraped off and a gel is extracted from their surface with water and allowed to set and form a jelly known in Taiwan as aiyu jelly (or aiyuzi 愛玉子) and in Singapore as ice jelly (文頭雪).
