ZELLEE ORGANIC FRUIT JEL
I first found Zellee at Expo West 2018 and my first thought was my daughter can have jello or the first time in her life. My daughter is allergic to fish and shellfish among many other things, and you would have not guessed how hard it is to find a fish free gelatin jello. Every company I emailed would either tell me they didn't know or couldn't guarantee it, and we are not daring at all when it comes to food allergies. Our motto "if you question if it's safe it's best to keep it away".
How does a company make a vegan jello you might ask yourself, well the answer is Konjac, a plant native to East Asia. The magic is in the root which has natural gelling property and thats what makes it gel. No animals harmed in the process! It's vegan certified.
There is also functional benefits to this tasty snack. Each pouch has 50% DV of Vitamin D3, 20% DV of Vitamin A, 40% DV of Vitamin C. There are 12 grams of sugar per pouch—all from fruit juice and purees, no add sugars or sweeteners. You eat it right out of the pouch. It has a 12 months shelf life.
It’s Non-GMO Project Verified and the packaging is BPA-free. Zellee also gives back 1% of their profits for the planet now that's a great bonus in my book. They are a great addition to take on a picnic, back in lunches or to satisfy you sweet tooth craving.
Texture, taste and smell
*They are dairy free and Vegan and i'm waiting back on all other allergens from the company.*
