Each piece is made with a concentrated ginger extract (62% solids, 90% ginger), so you get the warm, lively, slightly spicy character of real ginger in every bite. No artificial fruit flavor — just the honest, grown-up taste of ginger that ginger lovers look for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChewy Agar Texture, Not Gelatin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead 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 crisp at first, then satisfyingly chewy — and makes it a friendly option for those who prefer to skip animal-based gelatin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIndividually Wrapped for On-the-Go Freshness\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery piece is individually wrapped, so the jellies stay fresh and tidy in your bag, desk drawer, or coat pocket.
