Jellyfish
Food jellyfish are marine animals commonly salted and dried, then soaked or rinsed to provide pale, translucent, crisp and springy flesh.
About Jellyfish
Jellyfish used as food are marine animals whose edible portions are prepared for consumption; the label does not specify a species. Food products are commonly processed by salting and drying, which reduces moisture and changes texture, and are often soaked or rinsed before use.
Prepared jellyfish is typically pale and translucent, with a crisp, springy or crunchy texture and a mild flavour that readily takes on seasonings. Products may be sold dried, salted, or rehydrated and ready for use; preparation and processing vary.
