Just Wholefoods makes vegetarian and vegan store cupboard staples, including vegan jelly crystals in flavours such as raspberry and strawberry. Free UK delivery on orders over £40 from Quickvit.
Just Wholefoods makes vegetarian and vegan versions of store cupboard staples that are usually anything but — jelly being the obvious example, since conventional jelly is set with gelatine.
The range is organic where possible with short ingredients lists, and it fills gaps that are genuinely hard to fill elsewhere.
Vegan jelly crystals come in several flavours including raspberry, strawberry and lemon, set with plant-based gelling agents rather than gelatine.
Beyond jelly the range covers other vegetarian and vegan store cupboard items, all with the same straightforward approach.
We have sold vegetarian and vegan staples since 1988, long before most shops carried them, and vegan jelly is one of the things people come to a health store for.
Free UK delivery on orders over £40, with orders placed before midday Monday to Friday aimed for same-day dispatch.

Plant-set jelly behaves differently from gelatine: it sets firmer and faster, and it does not melt in the mouth the same way. Follow the pack quantities exactly, as the ratio matters more than with gelatine.
Certain fresh fruits — pineapple and kiwi among them — interfere with setting. Use tinned versions of those, or leave them out. Store crystals sealed in a cool, dry cupboard.
FAQ
Is the jelly suitable for vegans?
Yes — it is set with plant-based gelling agents rather than gelatine.
Why won't my jelly set?
Fresh pineapple and kiwi contain enzymes that prevent setting. Use tinned versions instead, and follow the pack quantities exactly.
Is it organic?
Much of the range is. Check the individual pack.
Does it taste like normal jelly?
Close, though plant-set jelly is a little firmer and does not melt in the mouth in quite the same way.
How should I store it?
Crystals keep sealed in a cool, dry cupboard. Made-up jelly goes in the fridge.
