Cutting Jelly, known as "다이어트 젤리" in Korea, became popular in the early 2000s as a low‑calorie snack marketed for weight loss. It is often consumed as a sweet treat that satisfies cravings without adding many calories, fitting into the Korean emphasis on portion control and balanced meals.

While the basic concept is a gelatin‑based sweet, variations exist: Japanese "ゼリー" often uses agar‑agar and fruit juice, Chinese versions may incorporate herbal extracts, and Korean Cutting Jelly frequently adds collagen or added vitamins for health benefits.

It is usually served chilled in a small bowl or on a plate as a snack between meals, sometimes topped with a drizzle of honey or fresh fruit slices to enhance flavor while keeping the calorie count low.

Cutting Jelly is not tied to specific festivals but is commonly offered during diet‑focused gatherings, health‑conscious meet‑ups, or as a light dessert after a heavy Korean barbecue to balance the meal.

Its candy‑like texture and sweet flavor give the perception of indulgence while delivering only about 10 calories per serving, making it a unique bridge between confectionery and diet food.

Early versions used basic gelatin and artificial flavors; modern products like Foodology’s Cutting Jelly incorporate natural fruit extracts, added collagen, and zero‑sugar sweeteners to appeal to health‑conscious consumers.

Eating the jelly too quickly can reduce the satiety effect, and consuming more than one serving defeats the low‑calorie purpose. Also, avoid storing it at room temperature for long periods as it can become a breeding ground for bacteria.

Yes, keep the unopened package in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer any leftover jelly to an airtight container and refrigerate; consume within 24 hours for best texture and safety.
