Jelly, Jelly In My Belly!

Coconut JellyI think I have an addiction to flavoured coconut jelly. I visited my local Asian food market last week and saw these colourful containers of flavoured coconut jelly on sale for $3.88. I haven’t tasted it before, but I do recall similar products (with “Konjac” listed in the ingredients) being in the news five years ago because those products were deemed as a choking hazard because of their size and consistency. The ones I saw at the grocery store had a bright warning label on the back of the package (informing people to chew thoroughly before swallowing and to slice the jelly if feeding it to children over 5 or the elderly),

I was enticed by the colours and flavours, and I always love to try new things, so I pick up a couple ‘konjac-free’ coconut jelly packs. I’m glad that I did, because they are delicious! It’s like eating Jell-O with a surprise gummy bear inside! :D Not only that, but they are fat-free, cholesterol-free and pretty decent on the calorie counter.

I love the mango and lychee flavours, but if I had to choose, mango would be on the top of my list. I think I ate too many today though… :( Ah well… at least the containers are reusable. Now I have something to put my flour and rice in!
