Guest review by Karen of Time Crafted.
I’ll bet you’re sick of candy by now. You are, aren’t you? Well, I’ve got an exciting little candy gem to share with you that won’t make you sick. Really. It’s gummy bears. No, really. Fruit Juice Gummy Bears by YumEarth. Actually, make that Organic Fruit Juice Gummy Bears.
When someone, especially a kid, has a fair amount of dietary restrictions, holidays and celebrations are wee bit challenging. Gluten, casein, and MSG are all 100% off limits and soy, high fructose corn syrup, chemicals, preservatives, and dyes are kept out as much as possible. Oh yea, and while trying to stay as organic as we can. Don’t freak out, we do feed our kid.
Back to those Organic Fruit Juice Gummy Bears. I bought them at Whole Foods and thought it couldn’t hurt to give them a try. I have tried some of the allergy free foods that have not gone down well. Three words: rice ice cream. While the kids like it, I can’t stand it. So, I was cowering in the corner when the kids offered one innocent gummy bear to chomp on.
I put on my brave face and popped the little red bear into my mouth. He was surprisingly squishy, gummy, and sweet. He was indeed fruity and without that waxy taste that surrounds many a gummy bear. I admit it; I was more than pleasantly surprised. All of that without high fructose corn syrup, gluten, casein, MSG, or artificial dyes. And on top of all that, those little bears are organic.
This one is definitely going on the list for Halloween, Easter, and other special treat times. I wanted to hate it. But, the all natural gummy bear won me over.

Thanks for sharing this! These are the things I need to know– where the gummy bears without the waxy taste and suspicious chemicals live. now only if we had a Whole Foods…
Thankfully, they’re sold online too! At the time, I only knew about those gummy bears, but they have more gummies and hard candies too.
okay, so did you bite its head off first?
I was too afraid of the outcome & went all in. Now I wish I had savoured it…the kidlets don’t want to share the rest! Thank goodness for regular Whole Foods runs! ;> :>
