In addition, kolang kaling also contains vitamins and fiber that are good for health. Before being processed into various dishes, kolang kaling needs to be washed first because it is usually still slimy and has a sour aroma and taste due to being soaked for too long.
The process of cleaning kolang kaling cannot be done carelessly. If the slime and sour taste have not disappeared, food mixed with kolang kaling can quickly go bad. To remove the slime and sour taste, many add or clean it with lime juice, which makes the kolang kaling rough.
