To get started with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have easy kanten whole grapefruit jelly using 5 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Easy Kanten Whole Grapefruit Jelly:
  1. Take 6 small Grapefruit
  2. Make ready 1 adjust so that the total volume with the juice and pulp becomes 500 ml Water
  3. Get 70 grams Sugar

While holding the grapefruit over a large bowl, cut between the membranes of the fruit to remove a grapefruit slice. Continue to remove all the slices and give it a gentle squeeze to remove a bit of the juice. Cook the jam: Add the grapefruit and juice to a large, non-reactive, heavy bottomed pot. This jelly is made with kanten (agar) powder.

Instructions to make Easy Kanten Whole Grapefruit Jelly:
  1. Slice all the grapefruits in horizontal halves. Carve out the insides of the 3 grapefruits that you're using for the container.
  2. Squeeze the other 3 grapefruits in a juicer to make some fresh grapefruit juice. Combine it with the pulp from Step 1 and measure out the volume.
  3. Mine was 400 ml (with the pulp and juice combined), so I added 100 ml water to make it 500 ml in total.
  4. Remove the membrane from the grapefruit skin (the ones that you carved out) since you will be using this as a cup.
  5. Heat 100 ml water and the powdered kanten in a pot, and boil for 2 minutes. Turn the heat to medium, then add the sugar and honey to simmer and dissolve.
  6. When mostly cooled, add the grapefruit juice (from Step 2) and mix well.
  7. Pour the grapefruit mixture into the cups prepared in Step 4. The jellies will set at room temperature since it uses kanten, but they taste better when chilled.
  8. They look rather posh with some mint leaf topping. An alternative will be cutting them into wedges.

Cook the jam: Add the grapefruit and juice to a large, non-reactive, heavy bottomed pot. This jelly is made with kanten (agar) powder. In case you're not familiar, kanten (寒天) or agar is a white and semi-translucent gelatinous substance, obtained from algae. Just like gelatin, it solidifies liquid. However, kanten (agar) is vegetarian and vegan-friendly, and it's a great alternative to animal or chemical-based gelatin.

Foods That Make Your Mood Better

Many of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are bad and to be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be true. Other times, comfort foods can be utterly healthy and good for us to eat. Some foods actually do boost your mood when you eat them. When you feel a little down and need an emotional pick-me-up, try a few of these.

Eggs, would you believe, are terrific for helping you combat depression. Just make sure that you don’t throw away the egg yolk. Whenever you wish to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most important part of the egg. Eggs, especially the yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. These B vitamins are great for helping to raise your mood. This is because they improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Consume an egg and jolly up!

Make a trail mixout of various seeds and nuts. Your mood can be elevated by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is possible since these foods are high in magnesium which raises your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more of it you have, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Nuts, in addition to elevating your mood, can be a superb protein source.

If you wish to battle depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all loaded with omega-3s and DHA. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can greatly raise your mood.

It’s easy to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are excellent at helping you feel better. These foods can help you feel full for longer as well, which can help your mood too. Feeling famished can really make you feel awful! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not difficult for your body to digest and process. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.

Green tea is truly great for your mood. You knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies prove that this specific amino acid can actually induce brain waves. This helps raise your mental sharpness while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not difficult to become healthy when you drink green tea. And now you are aware that green tea can help raise your mood as well!

Now you can see that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try several of these instead!
