Aiyu jelly (愛玉冰; pinyin: àiyù bīng; or 愛玉凍, pinyin: àiyù dòng; Min Nan: Pe̍h-ōe-jī: ò-giô, from Spanish higo), known as ice jelly in Singapore (文頭雪; pinyin: wéntóu xǔe), is a jelly made from the gel from the seeds of a variety of fig (Ficus pumila var. awkeotsang) found in Taiwan and East Asian countries of the same climates and latitudes. The jelly is not commonly made or found outside of Taiwan and Singapore, though it can be bought fresh in specialty stores in Japan and canned in Chinatowns. It is known as ò-giô in Taiwanese and is used in Taiwanese cuisine.

Famous quotes containing the word jelly:
“In this Journal, my pen is a delicate needle point, tracing out a graph of temperament so as to show its daily fluctuations: grave and gay, up and down, lamentation and revelry, self-love and self-disgust. You get here all my thoughts and opinions, always irresponsible and often contradictory or mutually exclusive, all my moods and vapours, all the varying reactions to environment of this jelly which is I.”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
