Trader Joe's has been rolling out a whole host of new spring products and one of the latest additions is the brand's Flower Gummies.
Trader Joe’s Flower Gummies are a seasonal take on traditional gummy candies. These sweet treats are produced in Germany "by a gummy guru that uses fruit pectin in their formula instead of gelatin," and are free of synthetic food dyes. This means that the candies are not just tasty, but also safe for vegetarians to enjoy. The candies themselves are two-toned and shaped like real spring flowers. As for the taste, Trader Joe's added a bit of Greek yogurt to its gummy formula, which gives the candies a lightly creamy, slightly tangy taste.
