Batches of Ripe Revival's functional gummies are made with nutrients extracted from upcycled produce, helping to make the most of fruits and vegetables that are otherwise unwanted. Created by North Carolina State University alumni, Ripe Revival flavors spotlight North Carolina fruits and vegetables like berries, grapes, sweet potato and pumpkin. The naturally sweetened flavors include Blueberry, Grape and Cinnamon Swirl, which are branded as purpose-packed snacks that are loaded with protein, fiber, a source of natural energy, minimal sugar and no artificial ingredients, nuts, dairy, soy or lactose.
According to the brand, "Each bag is a single serving and is the nutritional equivalent of eating a heaping handful of fresh fruits and vegetables with added protein, fiber and antioxidants."
