Introducing Simply Gum

Sometimes, Simple is Better

By Joyce Shulman June 21, 2016
I recently picked up a package of gum from a local store and took a look at the ingredients. Sugar was first, of course, followed by corn syrup (read, more sugar) and a list of 10 other ingredients, most of which I didn’t recognize and many I couldn’t pronounce (other than Red Dye 40 -- that I could recognize and pronounce). I knew there had to be a better option and was excited to discover Simply Gum.

Handcrafted at a kitchen in New York, Simply Gum is made with just six all-natural ingredients to create six flavors of gum, which are packed in elegant white boxes that are entirely biodegradable. I was intrigued, so when I had the chance to try the six flavors of Simply Gum, I had to do it.

Flip open one of the little white boxes and you’ll find bite-sized niblets of gum. Pop one in your mouth and you are likely to find the gum harder than you are accustomed to. But give it just a couple of seconds and you will discover gum with a perfect soft consistency and rich interesting flavors, including traditional mint and cinnamon (both delicious) as well as licorice, maple, ginger, and coffee. #newobsession
