Each piece is individually wrapped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach 9.87 oz (280 g) bag holds about 20 sugar-dusted pieces with the classic Korean jelly bite: firm at first, then pleasantly chewy. It is a classic, old-style Korean candy-shop flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Dasima Jelly?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDasima (다시마) is the Korean name for kelp (Laminaria), the broad seaweed Koreans use for soup stock and snacks. Ilkwang mixes Korean kelp powder into an agar jelly base, so the candy tastes mainly sweet, with a soft, savory sea note underneath. The package line sums it up: the taste of natural kelp meets a chewy jelly.\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 that also comes from seaweed. Agar gives Korean jelly candy its firmer, springy body, quite different from a soft gummy bear. The ingredient list contains no gelatin.\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, kelp powder 2% (Korea), agar, oblate powder (potato starch, corn starch, soy lecithin), salt, emulsifier.\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, 10 mg sodium, 13 g total carbohydrate, 3 g total sugars (includes 2.5 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).

Kelp jelly is the savory-leaning member of the family, closer to a traditional sweet than a fruit candy. If you like the warm spice of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/korean-ginger-jelly\"\u003eKorean Ginger Jelly\u003c\/a\u003e, this is another grown-up flavor from the same maker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this kelp jelly made in Korea?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
