The Natural Confectionery Co. has launched its first ever kombucha inspired jelly, which included prebiotic fibre.

The lollies have a liquid centre that contains kombucha extract, no artificial colours, no artificial flavours and 25 per cent less sugar that the average candy jelly products.

There are three flavours in the mixed bag: Strawberry Hibiscus; Ginger Peach; and Kombucha Original.

Marketing director Paul Chatfield said they noticed how Australians were embracing kombucha and couldn’t resist creating a new and fun way to consume the product.

The lollies are available from Woolworths from the end of January, RRP $4.00 for a 180g pack.
