{"product_id":"orihiro-low-calorie-konjac-jelly-peach-kyoho-grape","title":"Orihiro Low Calorie Konjac Jelly — Peach \u0026 Kyoho Grape, 12 Pouches","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwelve squeeze pouches of Japanese konjac jelly, six white peach and six Kyoho grape, sweetened with erythritol rather than sugar syrup. It is firm and springy, and you chew it rather than swallow it. Buy it if you want something sweet that is genuinely low in calories; if artificial sweeteners taste obvious to you, you will taste them in this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the pack: ぷるんと蒟蒻ゼリー カロリーゼロ 白桃＋巨峰. Konjac: \u003cem\u003ekonnyaku\u003c\/em\u003e in Japanese, is the root vegetable the jelly is set with instead of gelatine. Kyoho is a big, dark, sweet Japanese table grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you're getting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clean and delicate rather than rich, and the fruit in both halves is faint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTexture\u003c\/strong\u003e: Firm and bouncy, nearer a fruit gummy than a set jelly. Orihiro's instruction is to chew each mouthful, not to swallow it whole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sweetens it\u003c\/strong\u003e: Erythritol, a sugar alcohol, does the bulk of the work in place of sugar syrup, topped up with acesulfame K, aspartame and sucralose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the pack says zero\u003c\/strong\u003e: Japanese labelling lets a food this low in energy be printed as zero. Australian rules count it differently, so we call it low calorie rather than zero. The gap is tiny, but zero is not the honest word for it here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow you eat it\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tear the top along the dotted line and push the jelly out in two or three goes. Nothing to open, nothing to wash up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens\u003c\/strong\u003e: Contains peach. Australia's allergen chart has no peach category, so peach cannot appear in the pack's allergen box here — check the ingredients, not the chart; ours is the fuller list.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens, one more\u003c\/strong\u003e: It is sweetened partly with aspartame, which is a source of phenylalanine. That matters to anyone managing phenylketonuria (PKU). The Kyoho grape half also carries hydrolysed protein of a source Orihiro does not state, so it is not one to buy as vegetarian.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePeople divide sharply over whether this tastes as good as the sugar version, and the ones who say it doesn't all point at the sweetener rather than the fruit. Chew each piece properly instead of swallowing it whole, and watch small children and older people while they eat it. Do not freeze them: frozen jelly goes hard, can split the film as you squeeze, and comes out in one lump.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orihiro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48313192743138,"sku":"SH-SNK-0055","price":6.59,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/1312\/5858\/files\/orihiro-purun-konjac-jelly-zero-peach-grape-pack.webp?v=1789302116","url":"https:\/\/shintop.com.au\/products\/orihiro-low-calorie-konjac-jelly-peach-kyoho-grape","provider":"Shintop Trading Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
