Do you know I have a sweet tooth? Well, my whole family does! You might have seen us visiting candy stores whenever we're out, and I usually post our outings in candy stores on my Instagram stories.
If you have noticed from previous postings on my blog, I'm trying to do better when it comes to my health and skincare routines. This summer, I have been on the hunt for better-for-you products that I won't feel guilty using or eating, and improve my quality of life.
My road trip is coming up, and to avoid making pits stops at gas stations to load up on junk food, I found out about a sweet candy treat that will curb my sweet tooth and is healthier for me, Gem Gem Chewy Ginger Candy.
Gem Gem Chewy Ginger Candy is the perfect on-the-go snack that is made from ground ginger puree, pure cane sugar, tapioca starch and a touch of lemon. Using only the freshest Indonesian ginger grown at Mt. Bromo near the East Java volcanic belt, Gem Gem Chewy Ginger Candy is entirely gluten-free, non-GMO and vegan. Plus it’s kettle-cooked for three hours, bringing out a unique ginger aroma and flavor.
I know what you're thinking, "Wouldn't Ginger Candy be too spicy?"
Yes, the candy does have a kick to it, but at first bites, it's sweet tasting. I regularly put ginger pieces in my smoothies, so I don't mind having ginger in a candy form.
The individually wrapped ginger candies texture reminds me of chewing on thick pieces of fruit roll-ups, and out of the four flavors, Zesty Lemon, Gimme More Mango, Oh! Oh! Orange, and Just Ginger, the Mango flavor is my favorite because it gives me the right amount of sweet, then spicy taste. However, I do recommend having some water on the side; the spiciness will make your taste buds hot after awhile. But hey, the Ginger Candies are getting you to drink more water, a double plus!

Hey Lou! These are really good. I've tried the lemon before. I found them at Marshall's. Great tasting and no after taste.
ReplyDeleteI love ginger, so I would probably love these candies too. I like that they only contain natural ingredients.
