The Simply Gum collection invites us into a world where natural ingredients and thoughtful production meet. I embarked on a taste-testing adventure, exploring the nuanced flavors and health-conscious compositions these gums offer. From classic options sweetened with cane sugar to innovative sugar-free variants, this collection aims to satisfy a broad spectrum of preferences while prioritizing sustainability and wellness.
1. Simply Gum Classic Natural Chewing Gum
I tried the Classic Simply Gum and appreciated that it sticks to its roots with natural simplicity. Sweetened with cane sugar, it offers a pleasant taste without the use of artificial sweeteners like aspartame. The variety of flavors—spanning from Peppermint and Spearmint to Cinnamon and Ginger—ensures a little something for everyone. On the dietary front, it checks many boxes being vegan, non-GMO, Kosher, and free from dairy, soy, nuts, and peanuts. Although it’s pricier than your average gum at approximately $15 for 6 packs, it’s a solid choice for those who prioritize natural ingredients. However, if you’re strictly watching your sugar intake, the cane sugar sweetener might be a downside.

2. Simply Gum Sugar-free Natural Chewing Gum
This gum is sweetened solely with xylitol, a natural sugar alcohol that’s a popular alternative for those avoiding traditional sugar. The absence of cane sugar, coupled with its 100% xylitol composition, piqued my interest mainly due to xylitol’s dental benefits. From the first chew, the texture was pleasantly chewy without being overly sticky, a common issue with conventional sugar-free gums. The flavor was crisp and refreshing, lasting longer than I anticipated, which is a significant plus. Additionally, knowing this gum is vegan, non-GMO, and free from common allergens like dairy, soy, nuts, and peanuts, added a layer of confidence in my snacking choice. The packaging is also eco-friendly, aligning with my preference for sustainable products. However, there’s a downside worth noting. Those not used to xylitol may experience mild digestive discomfort, a temporary setback I encountered during my initial days of use. This gum is also on the pricier side, making it a more considered purchase rather than an off-the-cuff buy.
