What to know about jelly
Jelly is strained fruit juice set with sugar, so it drops the seeds and pulp but keeps the concentrated fruit sugar. That seed-free, clear look is deceptive: it carries the same moderate excess-fructose and FODMAP load as jam, and the salicylates ride along in the juice rather than the skin. Clear does not mean trigger-free.
Watch for
- Straining out seeds and pulp does not remove the fruit sugar: jelly still carries a moderate excess-fructose and FODMAP load from the concentrated juice
- Salicylates dissolve into the juice, so a clear, seed-free jelly rates borderline on salicylate rather than salicylate-free
- Grape and other pale jellies can contain sulfite preservatives, worth checking if you are sulfite-sensitive
- It is essentially fruit juice set with sugar, so it lands the same refined-sugar, pro-inflammatory note as jam
