Great, detailed review of their products. I look forward to trying them sometime. Organic gummy candy tends to taste weird. I’m surprised that the same flavors had so much variation between forms.

I know a little something about Yummy Earth and it is Kosher. They label it Kosher parve to designate which category. Just because 2 things may be Kosher, does not mean you can eat them together. I personally don’t keep kosher so i’m no expert but there are certain foods that can’t be combined on the same day.

Hope that clears it up.

hi. you wrote “The latest comes from Yummy Earth” which infers to me that it just came out. Regarding pareve-a company could put pareve on a non kosher product but they wouldn’t b/c it means nothing to them.

@ Alyssa, I don’t remember saying this was new candy as much as I believe I was alluding to this being a new market for candy. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression (all of our new candy is actually tagged with that designation, which is why I didn’t tag it). Also, in regards to parve, yes and no. True, something need not be kosher to be parve, i.e., sharks are considered parve, but they are not kosher; however, the comment was specifically made in regards to the symbol stamping it as kosher, as a parve subcategory. In the food world, when something is labeled as parve, it is in reference to whether it is kosher, not whether the item is or isn’t parve on its own right.

pareve is not a specific designation of kosher. pareve means that there is no meat or dairy products in it making it acceptable to vegetartians and those who are lactose intolerant. An item that is not kosher could be considered pareve if it contains no dairy or meat.

I’m not sure I want to go down the “good for you”/”not good for you” candy path. I mean, it’s candy. But I definitely think these Yummy Earth flavors are so so so tasty. And if you’re gonna eat candy, I think the tastier the better. These days, I’m a little unclear on the distinction between “natural” and “artificial” flavors, as “natural” is not the same as “squeezed from the fruit,” as I understand it (Fast Food Nation has an interesting discussion of this issue). But still, whatever a “natural” flavor is, it is such an improvement!

These really look worth trying.
I’ll have to check around for them.
