It may be a challenge to adopt an organic lifestyle and also find food that we want
to eat. But the variety of organic fresh foods has vastly improved in recent years and we
are no longer confined to health food stores to purchase organic produce. But if you’ve
got a sweet tooth, the challenge can appear a little more daunting. However, slowly springing
up is a cluster of companies who want to meet this challenge. They are producing a tasty
range of organic candy, which is often vegan-friendly and sensitive to those with allergies. So
it’s time to unwrap the top 10 best organic candies and sweets.
Peach Gummy Cubs
The Organic Candy Company makes organic candy
in the USA. It sells a variety of organic treats, including a chocolate bar that contains
cute peach flavored gummy bear cubs. Each bite has a delicious jelly bear cub in it
and can be enjoyed with less guilt than eating a regular chocolate bar. The snacks are carefully
created with gluten-free ingredients. They contain no genetically modified material or
gelatine and nothing artificial whatsoever. They contain no nuts and are also kosher and
of course organic. It’s amazing that there is anything left to include! There is sugar
in the candy, but it is unrefined sugar, which has a healthier effect on the body’s Glycemic
Index, as it is absorbed more slowly before being converted into energy. The chocolate
bar is also available in a mixed berry version, including gummy cubs made from raspberry,
blackberry and boysenberry flavors. The gummy treats are available to buy in bags on their
own, and they claim to be the first organic, kosher gummy bears in the world. The company
was set up by a mom who was concerned about what her daughter put in her body when she
ate candy. As her daughter was the inspiration for the company’s formation, each packet
contains her daughter’s own drawing of a gummy cub!

YumEarth Organic Fruit Snacks
YumEarth was set up by two dads who wanted to bring candy to the world that didn’t
involve eating a whole heap of rubbish. They try to keep their ingredients simple and to
avoid including ingredients that contain allergens, so there is no egg, wheat, peanuts or any
of the other top eight allergens. They sell a wide variety of candy including licorice,
gummy bears and lollipops, all made with organic ingredients. Their fruit snacks are available
in two flavors and are made with real fruit juice. They come in tropical fruit flavor
and in a mixture of banana, strawberry, cherry, and peach. The snacks are also gluten-free,
contain no genetically modified ingredients and are suitable for vegans. They use organic
cane sugar and organic brown rice syrup as sweeteners and natural fruit extracts for
flavorings. They promise to avoid using coconut oil in any of their products due to concerns
over cholesterol. While new research shows high-fat foods like coconut oil might not
have an effect on cholesterol overall, clearly YumEarth thinks it’s better to be safe than
sorry!
