Gummi bears are finally getting a makeover after nearly 100 years. A 22-year-old Canadian entrepreneur has taken the popular 1920s confectionery candy and turned it into a healthier treat without any processed sugar.
The 22-year-old Canadian entrepreneur behind a new "healthy" gummi bear says she got the idea from her grandmother.
We use no sugar or sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners so it’s just plant-based, non-GMO stevia. Also, we don’t use any artificial ingredients like colors or flavors,” Tara Bosch, founder and CEO of SmartSweets, tells FOX Business.
The treats have 24 grams of fiber, Bosch says, and only 2 grams of sugar and 9 grams of net carbs per bag, whereas traditional gummi bears contain between 21 and 22 grams of sugar in about 17 to 18 pieces.
