Konnyaku jellies

[Kaminoko]

Now I really love these!

The really hard ones, where they bounce if you throw them on the ground...and my mum's bringing some make-your-own Konnyaku to the UK soon. :D

Does anyone have any good ideas on how to make them have a bit more flavour? Should I just mix them with juice?

Thanks!

Although the contents look like a typical gelatin product, the small gel candies maintain their product characteristics (i.e. shape, texture, firmness) without melting when placed in the mouth.

The plastic gel cup is approximately the size of a single-service coffee creamer. The individual gel cups are packaged in 300 gram plastic bags or 3.3 pound plastic jars. They may also be offered for sale as individual cups.http://www.fda.gov/fdac/graphics/2006graphics/gel_candies.jpg
