Why we picked it
-
Mezmo is trying to fix candy — real-fruit colour instead of synthetic dyes, added prebiotic fibre, no refined sugar.
-
Colour comes from fruit rather than synthetic dye.
-
It is still a sweet, and we would rather say that than sell it as a health food.

- 04Check the gelling agent — pectin (veg) vs gelatin (non-veg).
What's inside

23.3g dietary fibre per 100g — the highest in the range.
The lowest in the range. The apple flavour carries 53.5g.
This flavour's lab report did not test added sugar, so we cannot check the claim against a number the way we can on the other flavours.
