Many juice gummies use real fruit juice and natural fruit extracts for flavor and plant-based gelling agents such as pectin to create chewiness. Other common texture and binder ingredients include acacia gum and chicory fiber.
Many gummy packs include multiple fruit flavors, commonly five to six per bag. Typical flavors listed in product descriptions include cherry, lemon, pineapple, orange, apple and strawberry, with other fruit varieties appearing across different offerings.
Textures and novelty features include soft, juicy gummy bites; peelable fruit-slice gummies with a removable outer layer; varieties with a crunchy exterior and gummy interior or a juicy center; tangy sugar coatings; resealable packaging; and fun shapes—many made with real fruit juice.
