Taste
Where it comes from
Sugar free gummies took off in America in the 2010s, built on soluble fibre and natural sweeteners like erythritol and stevia rather than the maltitol used in older sugar free sweets. The change mattered because maltitol has a well known laxative effect, which limited how many anyone could eat.
What it's made of
Soluble fibre from tapioca and corn starch with erythritol and stevia instead of sugar, set with pectin and flavoured with watermelon and sour acids.
