Green Out® Sour Bears Gummies

Green Out® Sour Bears Gummies - sour hemp gummies, 130 g

Sour Bears is the sour variant of the same gel mass that you reach for in the fruity Sweet Bears: 130 g in the package, a minimum of 30 pieces and 30 daily servings. The manufacturer counts a serving as 4 g, which is roughly one gummy, and declares 8 mg of phyto-substances along with the naturally accompanying terpenes and flavonoids. The sour character comes from the acidity regulator and ascorbic acid, of which there is 0.4% in the recipe - the same amount as l-theanine. The carrier remains hemp seed oil at 8% of the recipe. The fruity base is built from three juices: strawberry, peach, and lemon, and the color comes from anthocyanins and chlorophyll. If you have reached for this product before, it is worth knowing that the manufacturer has changed the recipe. The current version is based on sugar, juices, and natural colorants, rather than glucose syrup and synthetic colorants, which were described in older marketing materials.

Ingredients

Ingredients listed by the manufacturer, in order from the label:

• sugar
• gelatin
• hemp seed oil - 8%
• fruit juices: strawberry, peach, lemon
• acidity regulator
• ascorbic acid - 0.4%
• l-theanine - 0.4%
• flavor
• natural colorant: anthocyanins, chlorophyll
• glazing agents: beeswax

Sour gummies differ from sweet ones less than the taste suggests: the ingredient list is identical, and the difference is made by the proportion of acid and the coating method. Ascorbic acid serves a dual function here - it gives the characteristic sourness and is also vitamin C. Gelatin makes the product non-vegetarian or vegan, and beeswax excludes a vegan diet regardless. Sugar opens the list, and with 55.5 g of sugars in 100 g of the product, this is consistent with what this product actually is; besides sugars, the manufacturer declares 11.5 g of fat, 1.8 g of protein, and 0.2 g of salt in 100 g, which together gives 805 kJ, or 311 kcal. Check the allergen declaration and gluten information on the packaging. The current recipe does without a separate preservative and without synthetic colorant. Both of these items were present in the older version, which is still described in the manufacturer’s wholesale materials.

How to use

The manufacturer recommends eating the gummy before or during a meal and not exceeding the daily serving. Compared to dry herb, the effect of gummies appears later and can be stronger, as the phyto-substances pass through the digestive tract before they start to work. The sour coating is pronounced, so if you have sensitive gums, drink water and do not hold the gummy in your mouth for long.

For whom

Sour Bears is a choice for adults who find sweet gummies simply too sweet, and the sour note allows them to eat one without wanting a whole handful. This is a practical advantage with a product that has a daily serving: the pronounced taste keeps the pace. Besides, the same conditions apply as with other gummies from this recipe - it is not a product for children, for pregnant or breastfeeding women, it is not suitable for vegans and vegetarians due to gelatin, and those limiting sugar should remember that we are talking about a confectionery product. If the sour profile does not convince you, the same gel mass awaits in a sweet and fruity version, under a different name. Sour gummies can also be more practical in the evening when sweet flavors can be tiring, though that is a matter of taste. The manufacturer does not differentiate between the two versions in any way other than taste and coating method.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many gummies are in the package and how many servings is that?

The manufacturer declares a minimum of 30 pieces and 130 g of net mass, and counts a daily serving as 4 g, which is roughly one gummy. The package contains 30 such servings. The number of pieces is given as a minimum because the gummies are weighed, not counted, so in practice, there are often a few more.

Where does the sour taste come from?

From the acidity regulator and ascorbic acid, of which the recipe contains 0.4%. This is the same ingredient that in another context we call vitamin C. The fruity base is provided by the juices: strawberry, peach, and lemon, and the distinctiveness of the taste also comes from the coating method that the manufacturer uses only in the sour version.

Is this the same recipe as before?

No. The manufacturer describes the current version as improved and bases it on sugar, gelatin, fruit juices, and natural colorants. Older marketing materials still describe the recipe with glucose syrup and synthetic colorants. The binding list is printed on the packaging that reaches you, and we adhere to it in case of doubts.

How to store after opening?

In a dry and dark place, and use the contents within 30 days of opening. With sour gummies, moisture is a bigger problem than with sweet ones, as it dissolves the coating and sticks the pieces together. Keep them in the original packaging, seal after each opening, and do not leave them in a heated car.

Variants and category

Besides the sour version, there are sweet and fruity variants in this line, as well as a separate blueberry item with an added terpene profile. You can find all variants in the Green Out Gummies category.
