Inspired by classic watermelon candies, SmartSweets is introducing a new low-sugar candy called Sourmelon Bites that boasts just three grams of sugar per bag. As well as being low in sugar, the candy bites are a plant-based take on the classic gummy watermelon slices that are also free of sugar alcohols, artificial sweeteners and added sugar.
The non-GMO and gluten-free Sourmelon Bites were created based on fan requests for the company to put its own stamp on traditional watermelon slices. These nostalgic watermelon gummies offer a better-for-you take on classic gummies that promise to leave people feeling more enjoyment and none of the guilt of indulging in a sweet treat.
One product at a time, SmartSweets is reimagining some of the world's most popular candies with entirely plant-based and low-sugar formulas.
