The benefits of the drink for the human body

In the modern sense, jelly is a dessert, a sweet, thick drink that is consumed at the end of a meal. But in the traditional sense, he was never a dessert, rather an everyday meal.
The modern jelly recipe appeared when potato starch was made in Russia. Berries and fruits give the drink color and aroma. As a result of heat treatment, almost all the beneficial nutrients contained in them are destroyed, and starch breaks down to glucose under the influence of digestive enzymes.
To cook healthy jelly, you need to know the right recipe.
