Abstract: The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an easy-to-take granular preparation that forms a gel having low adhesiveness and appropriate hardness when brought into contact with water, exhibiting an improved swallowing as a result, and to provide a method for producing the granular preparation. The present invention pertains to an easy-to-take granular preparation including granules, each of which contains a sugar or a sugar alcohol and has a surface at least partially coated with a thickener, and to a method for producing the easy-to-take granular preparation, the method including granulating a composition that includes a sugar or a sugar alcohol using an aqueous solution of a thickener.
