Review of 'Florida's Natural' Nuggets (Fruit Grove -- Strawberry, Banana, Orange)

Florida's Natural -- Nuggets (Strawberry, Banana, Orange) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: Kids will definitely enjoy these. The packaging is colourful and fun and the nuggets are bite-sized, perfect for little mouths. The flavour itself is *very* authentically strawberry, banana, or orange depending on the nugget. The issue I had was that they were really chewy and got stuck on my teeth a bit too much. I suppose kids don't worry about these things too much though. I'd recommend these candies over other similar types because of the *much* better ingredients.

Where to buy: Rexall Pharma Plus, Shopper's Drug Mart

Ingredients:fruit ingredients (concentrated pear puree, concentrated fruit juices (pear, strawberry, ascorbic acid [vitamin C])), cane sugar, tapioca starch, rice syrup, dextrose, apple powder, citric acid (acidulant), natural flavours (orange, banana, strawberry), sodium citrate, pectin, black carrot concentrate, carnauba wax, corn maltodextrin.

So, most similar candies (gummy type candies) have modified ingredients, hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup, artificial flavours and preservatives, or other horrible ingredients. So this is a great option parents looking for healthier snack ideas that are kid-friendly.
