Guilinggao, also known as Tortoise jelly or Turtle Jelly, is a jelly-like Chinese medicine, also sold as a dessert.
It was traditionally made with the powdered plastron (shell) from the critically endangered turtle Cuora
trifasciata (commonly known as "three-lined box turtle", or "golden coin turtle") and a variety of herbal
products, in particular, China roots Smilax glabra (Tu fu ling).Although the golden coin turtle (Cuora
trifasciata) is commercially farmed in modern China, it is extremely expensive; therefore, even when turtle-
derived ingredients are used in commercially available Guilinggao, they come from other, more commonly
available, turtle species.
More often, commercially available Guilinggao sold as a dessert does not contain turtle shell powder at all,
despite the product name and the prominent turtle images on most brands' labels. They do, however,
share the same herbal additives as the medicine and are similarly marketed as being good for skin complexion
when ingested.
Our guilinggao recipes boiling turtle shell for many hours, first by itself, then with a variety of herbal
ingredients, so that the liquid is gradually evaporated and a jelly-like residue forms. rice flour and Corn Starch
is added to "thicken" the product.
Guilinggao jelly can be prepared at home from commercially sold powdered concentrate (the "guilinggao
powder"),similarly to how Jello is made. When it is prepared, other herbal substances, such as ginseng, are
added to the jelly to give it certain tastes and medicinal values. The main ingredients of a typical Guilinggao
jelly dessert found in North America are: water, sucrose, guilinggao powder, and American Ginseng.
