Questions about Fruit gums
What are fruit gums made from?
They are chewy sweets made by cooking sugar or glucose syrup with a gelling agent, flavourings and colours. The setting agent may be gelatine, pectin or starch, so ingredients differ between products.
Are fruit gums vegetarian or vegan?
Not always: gelatine is animal-derived, while pectin and starch are plant-based. Look for the ingredient list or a clear vegetarian or vegan mark; colours and other ingredients can also differ.
How should you store fruit gums?
Keep them in a sealed container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from sunlight. Once opened, sealing the bag helps stop them drying out or becoming sticky in humid air.
Can you use fruit gums to decorate a cake?
Yes. Add them shortly before serving, because moisture from icing can make their surfaces sticky and cause colours to run; cut larger sweets into small pieces with lightly oiled scissors.
Can you melt fruit gums for baking?
They soften with heat but can turn into a very sticky syrup rather than a smooth, reliable glaze. For a topping, melt them gently with a little water in a saucepan, stirring constantly, and use the mixture while warm.
How many fruit gums is a portion?
There is no standard piece size, so count a small handful rather than eating from the bag. A 30 g handful provides 98 kcal and 16 g of sugars.
Are fruit gums different from wine gums?
Both are chewy, gelled sweets, but wine gums are usually firmer and are traditionally flavoured to suggest wine styles without containing alcohol. Fruit gums are generally presented with fruit flavours and shapes.
Can young children eat fruit gums?
Their chewy, sticky texture can be difficult for young children to manage and may pose a choking risk. Keep them away from children under four, and supervise older children while they eat.
