How it's used
Often found in traditional dessert shops, this ingredient is prized for its chewy texture and deep purple color when cooked. It is almost exclusively associated with sweet soups, known as 糖水, rather than savory dishes. The flavor is slightly nutty and earthy, making it a popular base for coconut milk based desserts.
