Cendol (Pandan Jelly)

Cendol (Pandan Jelly) is a popular Southeast Asian dessert made from pandan‑scented rice flour or green jelly strands served in sweetened coconut milk and palm sugar syrup; it's widely enjoyed as a cooling street‑food treat. Nutritionally it is relatively high in simple sugars and coconut cream, contributing notable saturated fat at 3.9g per 100g, while providing only small amounts of protein and fiber. Overall it is an indulgent, sweet snack rather than a nutrient‑dense choice — it can supply some potassium and comforting richness but is best enjoyed occasionally or with lighter, lower‑sugar variations.
