Korean Jeju Mandarin Jelly | Chewy Agar Candy | 9.87 oz
Kosbee Korean Jeju Mandarin Jelly is a chewy agar candy made in Korea by Ilkwang Confectionery (일광제과), flavored with real Jeju mandarin extract for a bright, tangy-sweet citrus taste — individually wrapped and sourced by Kosbee.
Each 9.87 oz (280 g) bag holds individually wrapped pieces with a lively mandarin flavor and that signature Korean jelly bite — firm at first, then satisfyingly chewy. It's a light, fruity treat for lunchboxes, party bowls, and everyday snacking.
Bright, Tangy-Sweet Jeju Mandarin Flavor
This jelly is made with real mandarin extract from Jeju Island, off Korea's southern coast, which is famous for its sweet citrus. The result is a lively, tangy-sweet mandarin flavor with a refreshing finish — fruity and fun rather than heavy or syrupy.
Chewy Agar Texture, Not Gelatin
Instead of gelatin, these jellies are set with agar, a plant-based gelling agent from seaweed. Agar gives the candy its distinctive Korean texture — firm and springy at first, then satisfyingly chewy — and makes it a friendly option for those who prefer to skip animal-based gelatin.
Individually Wrapped for On-the-Go Freshness
Every piece is individually wrapped, so the jellies stay fresh and tidy in a bag, desk drawer, or lunchbox. Take one for the commute, share a few at the office, and keep the rest sealed — easy to portion and mess-free.
Made by Ilkwang Confectionery Since 1969
