Korean Ginger Candy | Extra Strength Hard Drops | 8.81 oz
Kosbee Korean Ginger Candy is an extra-strength hard candy made in Korea by Ilkwang Confectionery (일광제과), blending real ginger extract with oleoresin ginger for a bold, warming ginger flavor — individually wrapped, and produced in a HACCP-certified facility.
This is ginger candy for people who find most ginger sweets too faint. Real ginger extract and concentrated oleoresin ginger give every piece a genuinely strong, true-to-root flavor with a warming, spicy-sweet finish. It dissolves slowly as a firm hard candy, so the taste stays with you.
In Korea, ginger has long been simmered into warming teas and balanced with a touch of sweetness through the cooler months. This candy carries that same bold, warming ginger character in a single piece you can enjoy anywhere.
What's Inside Every Piece
- Real Ginger Extract (0.5%)
- Made with real ginger extract — 90% ginger to 10% starch syrup — for a bold, true-to-root ginger flavor in every drop.
- Oleoresin Ginger
- A concentrated ginger oil that deepens the warming, spicy-sweet character, so the flavor reads as genuinely strong rather than faint.
- Slow-Melting Hard-Candy Base
- A clean starch-syrup and sugar base melts slowly instead of sticking to your teeth, so the bold ginger flavor lasts longer.
- Individually Wrapped
- Each piece is individually wrapped, so the 8.81 oz (250 g) bag stays fresh and is easy to share or drop into a bag.
Each three-piece serving (0.42 oz / 12 g) is about 50 calories, and the bag holds roughly 21 servings.
How to Enjoy Korean Ginger Candy
Let one piece dissolve slowly in your mouth rather than biting down, so the bold ginger flavor lasts. You can also drop one or two into a cup of hot water or tea to make a quick, warming ginger drink. Keep a few at your desk, in the car, or in your bag.
How It's Different
Unlike chewy ginger candies that can stick to your teeth, this is a firm hard candy that melts slowly and keeps its bold ginger flavor longer — without the sticky, tooth-clinging texture. It's made in Korea by Ilkwang Confectionery (일광제과), a Korean candy maker established in 1969.
It's produced in a HACCP-certified facility — Korea's national food-safety standard for monitoring quality at every step of production. Ships from our New Jersey warehouse.
