Each piece is individually wrapped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach 9.87 oz (280 g) bag holds about 20 lightly dusted pieces with the classic Korean jelly bite: firm at first, then pleasantly chewy. The front of the pack calls it a balance of tangy and sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Korean Blueberry Jelly?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKorean agar jelly (한천젤리) is an old-style candy-shop sweet: a firm block of jelly with a thin starch dusting, wrapped piece by piece. This flavor adds blueberry concentrate with citric and malic acid, so the sweetness comes with a light fruity tang. In Korea it is sold as 블루베리젤리 (beulluberi jelli).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAgar Texture, No Gelatin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of gelatin, the jelly is set with agar, a plant-based gelling agent made from seaweed. Agar gives Korean jelly candy its firmer, springy body, quite different from a soft gummy bear. The ingredient list contains no gelatin and no added colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIngredients\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eStarch syrup, sugar, agar, oblate powder (potato starch, corn starch, soy lecithin), blueberry concentrate 0.5%, salt, artificial blueberry flavor, emulsifier, citric acid, malic acid.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eSize\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e9.87 oz (280 g), about 20 individually wrapped pieces of 14 g.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003ePer piece\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e50 calories, 0 g fat, 15 mg sodium, 13 g total carbohydrate, 7 g total sugars (includes 7 g added sugars), 0 g protein.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMaker\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eIlkwang Confectionery Co., Ltd., Busan, Korea (since 1969).

It is made in Korea by Ilkwang Confectionery (일광제과) of Busan, a candy maker since 1969, in a HACCP-certified facility. The bag is marked Made in Korea, and we ship it from our New Jersey warehouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Korean blueberry jelly taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is sweet first, with a light, tart blueberry note from 0.5% blueberry concentrate, blueberry flavor, and citric and malic acid. The lightly dusted surface gives way to a firm, then chewy agar bite, firmer than a typical gummy candy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it made with gelatin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is set with agar, a plant-based gelling agent made from seaweed, so there is no gelatin in the ingredient list. That is what gives it the firmer, springy texture of Korean jelly candy, compared with a soft gelatin gummy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlueberry jelly vs blueberry hard candy: what is the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are Ilkwang blueberry sweets, and the difference is texture. Korean Blueberry Jelly is a soft, chewy agar block that you bite through, while Korean Blueberry Hard Candy is a hard drop that dissolves slowly. Choose the jelly for a chewy bite and the hard candy for a longer-lasting piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat allergens does it contain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt contains soy (from soy lecithin in the oblate powder). It is made in a facility that also processes wheat, peanuts, peach, milk, shellfish (abalone), and fish. The jelly is firm, so chew it well and do not swallow pieces whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many pieces are in a bag?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 9.87 oz (280 g) bag holds about 20 individually wrapped pieces of 14 g each.
