Yum Earth are makers of a new kind of candy for kids. This new breed of candy is meant to be a sweet treat, but also a sweet that is a bit better for you then the rest of what is out there. In addition, YumEarth Organics Fruit Snacks are now available at Costco Northwest beginning in February,  7,000 Walgreens since the end of2013, and will be in Target for Valentine’s Day.  It is becoming easier and easier to get your hands on this candy.

Yum Earth treats were created with a few ideals in mind; “YumEarth is dedicated to making delicious treats with all-natural ingredients, no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no high fructose corn syrup, and no major allergens, such as gluten, nuts and dairy”. This can be quite a lofty goal considering most candy is high fructose corn syrup wrapped in an artificial flavor, artificial color shell. The flavor of which is often not found in nature. But Yum Earth flavors are fruity and sweet, with a much more subtle flavor instead of the red that tastes like red, you get very very cherry which actually tastes like cherry. The ingredients or rather the amount of junk not included in a Yum Earth products is quite extensive. Makes you really think about what goes into your foods and snacks.
