This aloe vera jelly is a sweet Korean-style preparation, made using a traditional gelling process that gives the product its characteristic thick, translucent, and slightly viscous texture. It contains 35% fresh aloe vera in a base of sugar and fructose gelled with carrageenan, a hydrocolloid extracted from red algae commonly used in the food industry as a natural thickener.
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is added as an antioxidant to preserve the product’s stability.
This type of gelled preparation is very common in South Korea, where “cheong” (concentrated sweetened preparations made from fruits, plants, or vegetables) are traditionally diluted in hot or cold water to make beverages, or consumed as is.
This product is a sweetened food. It has a high sugar content (58 g/100 g) and should be consumed in moderation.
It is not a substitute for medical treatment or a varied and balanced diet.
Key Ingredients and Documented Properties
This product is a sweetened food containing fresh aloe vera (35%).
Aloe vera, Aloe barbadensis Miller
Aloe vera is a succulent plant of the Asparagaceae family, cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. The translucent gel extracted from the leaves—the part used in this preparation—consists of more than 98% water and contains specific polysaccharides, primarily acemannan, a glucomannan fraction studied in phytochemistry.
Carrageenan, a marine-derived thickener
Carrageenan (E407) is a hydrocolloid extracted from red algae, used as a food thickener authorized in the European Union. It is what gives the preparation its characteristic gel-like texture, allowing it to dissolve in hot water and be eaten directly by the spoon. Its marine and plant-based origin makes it an alternative to animal-derived gelatins.
The information above is descriptive in nature and is based on the product’s composition data and the available scientific literature on its ingredients. It does not constitute health claims within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006.
Serving and Usage Tips
As a hot infusion
- Measure 1 tablespoon of jelly (about 15 g) into a cup.
- Pour hot water (about 80 to 90°C, not boiling, to preserve the flavors and honey).
- Stir until completely dissolved and serve.
As a cold drink
Dilute 1 tablespoon in a glass of cold or lightly sparkling water, stir, and serve with ice cubes. The jelly also dissolves when cold, though more slowly than when hot.
By the spoonful, on its own
The jelly can be enjoyed straight from the spoon, like a light jam or a dessert. Its translucent texture and sweet, floral flavor make it a delightful treat to enjoy as is, in small amounts.
Serving Suggestions
1 tablespoon per cup (about 15 g). The 580 g jar yields about 38 to 40 servings, depending on the serving size. Enjoy in moderation due to the sugar content.
Storage
