Pomegranate Adazi: Chewy, Refreshing & Irresistible!

Sweet, tangy, and ultra-chewy—perfect for summer!

Senny

I first tried Adazi at a night market in Xiamen and fell in love with its bouncy texture. Back home, I tried recreating it but felt something was missing—until I experimented with pomegranate juice! The result? A stunning pink, juicy, and irresistibly chewy dessert that’s now my summer staple. Friends always ask for it!

🔍 Ingredient Breakdown

The key is tapioca starch, which gives Adazi its signature chewiness. Pomegranate juice adds natural sweetness and antioxidants, while fresh arils provide bursts of flavor. Optional honey adjusts sweetness. Gluten-free and clean-label!

🍽️Serving Suggestions

Enjoy chilled, with coconut milk, yogurt, or in drinks as a pearl alternative. Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days.
