Konjac jelly is a popular choice for anyone looking for a light snack to enjoy on the go, at the office, or after a workout. Its soft, slightly bouncy texture and fruit flavours like apple, lychee, orange and mango set it apart from ordinary sweets. However, not all products are the same. If you only look for words like “zero”, “fruit” or “sugar-free”, you could end up buying a product that doesn’t match your dietary goals or the occasion you have in mind.
A fruit flavour doesn’t tell you much about the nutritional value. For example, the ORIHIRO Purun and Standing Orange contains orange juice, sugar, fructose syrup and sweeteners. According to the product information, each serving provides 47 kcal and 11.7 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams. That makes this fruit jelly a very different choice from a sugar-free jelly snack.
So always check:
The Orihiro Purun and Standing Zero Calories Apple is listed as 0 kcal per 100 grams, but it still contains 8.7 grams of carbohydrates, including erythritol and sweeteners. It also states that it’s a source of phenylalanine due to the use of aspartame. If you’re looking for a keto snack, a gluten-free snack or a low-calorie snack, you need to look beyond one eye-catching claim on the packaging.
Konjac jelly often has a firm or bouncy texture. With ORIHIRO products, the instructions say you should squeeze the jelly out of the pack and chew it thoroughly. Eat the jelly slowly and follow the directions on the label. Once opened, a Hethstia pack should be stored in the fridge according to the product information and consumed within two days.
For a sugar-free konjac jelly, the nutritional values matter more than the fruit flavour. Hethstia products such as apple, lychee and orange are listed as having 0 grams of sugars and 7 kcal per pack. The Hethstia Konjac Jelly Apple is also listed as having 3 kcal per 100 grams. Always check the actual packaging, though, because the composition and nutritional values can vary between variants.
When it comes to polyols like erythritol or maltitol, pay attention to your personal tolerance. Excessive consumption of products containing certain sweeteners can have a laxative effect. The warning on the packaging is what you should follow.
A konjac jelly typically contains water, fruit concentrate, konjac flour, a gelling agent, an acidity regulator and sweetener. Some variants add collagen peptides and vitamin C. That makes it a konjac jelly with collagen or a vitamin C snack in terms of its composition, but it’s not a substitute for a varied diet. Any claims about effects or benefits should always be assessed against the label and the official product information.
Also check for allergens. The Hethstia variants mentioned do not list any allergens, whereas ORIHIRO Purun and Standing Orange lists orange as an allergen. If you’re following a strict diet, the full ingredients list is more important than the front of the pack.
A single pouch is practical for a bag, desk or lunchbox. A multipack makes more sense if you regularly want to take a jelly snack on the go. The Hethstia Collagen Peptides Orange is listed as a 155g pack containing ten individually wrapped squeeze pouches. The ORIHIRO Grape Konjac Jelly comes as a 6-pack of 120g, with individually wrapped jelly pieces.

That depends on the variant and your personal carbohydrate limit. Hethstia lists 1 gram of carbohydrates per 100 grams and 0 grams of sugars for several variants. ORIHIRO Grape, according to the listing, does contain sugar. So always check the nutritional information table and ingredients list before choosing a product for a keto diet.
Store unopened products according to the packaging, usually in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, a Hethstia pouch should be kept in the fridge according to the product information and consumed within two days. ORIHIRO products should be eaten immediately after opening. The best-before date is on the packaging.
The Hethstia variants mentioned are described as gluten-free and do not list any allergens. However, recipes or production information can change. If you have coeliac disease or a serious allergy, it’s wise to check the actual packaging and allergen information before ordering or consuming.
