They are a soft round candy about 3 centimetres (1.2 in) across, made from powdered sugar with fruit flavors. Fruit Gems are made by Jelly Belly, which purchased prior manufacturer, The Ben Myerson Candy Company, under license for Sunkist. They contain fruit pectin, natural flavors and are fat-free.

Prior to 2012, Fruit Gems came in a mix of lemon, orange, grapefruit, lime and raspberry flavors. In 2012 the flavor lineup was changed to lemon, orange, grapefruit, raspberry and blueberry.^[1] The original lineup of orange, lemon, pink grapefruit, raspberry and lime was restored in 2023.

A Christmas seasonal mix, with green lime and red raspberry Fruit Gems, has also been produced.
