Annin tofu

Annin tofu is a yummy dessert made from a type of bean called almond jelly. It comes from Japan and Taiwan, which are really far away, and it's different from the regular tofu you might know.

To make annin tofu, people first take a special powder that's made from apricot kernels and mix it with water. Then they heat it up and add some sugar to make it sweet. Once it cools down, it becomes a jelly that's kind of wobbly, like Jell-O!

The jelly is then cut into little blocks or shapes and served with some syrup or fruit on top. Sometimes people also sprinkle it with a powder made from crushed almonds.

Annin tofu tastes really good and is also healthy because it's made from beans. But you should always ask a grown-up before trying new foods, just to make sure it's safe for you to eat!
