Korean candy is known for flavors built on everyday Korean tastes: roasted coffee, toasted rice, ginger, citrus from Jeju Island and even bamboo salt. Most come as individually wrapped hard drops or as chewy agar jelly, in bags big enough to share at the office or keep in the car.

What is agar jelly candy?
Agar is a plant-based gelling agent made from seaweed. Korean agar jelly candy is firmer and less sticky than gummy bears, with a clean bite, and each piece is wrapped.

Most bags are 250 to 280 g, so mixing three or four flavors is an easy way to try the range. See them all in Sweets & Snacks; orders over $60 ship free.
