Simply Gum Natural Xylitol Chewing Gum Peppermint (6-Pack, 90 Pieces) - Chicle Tree Sap Base, Plastic-Free, Biodegradable

Overview

Simply Gum represents a revolutionary return to how chewing gum was meant to be made—with real ingredients you can actually pronounce. While most commercial gums use synthetic polyvinyl acetate (essentially plastic) as their base, Simply Gum is crafted from authentic chicle tree sap harvested sustainably from sapodilla trees in Central American rainforests. This isn't just marketing speak—it's a fundamental difference that makes Simply Gum truly biodegradable and plastic-free. Founded by Caron Proschan, a female entrepreneur who couldn't believe modern gum contained plastic, Simply Gum has pioneered the natural gum movement in the United States. Each piece is handcrafted in small batches in the USA using just six simple ingredients: plant-based xylitol (sourced from USA birch trees), chicle base (chicle tree sap, candelilla wax, citric acid), peppermint oil, organic vegetable glycerin, gum arabic, and organic rice flour. That's it. No artificial sweeteners, no synthetic flavors, no mysterious "gum base" hiding petroleum-derived polymers. The xylitol sweetener deserves special attention for its dental benefits. Unlike sugar or artificial sweeteners like aspartame, xylitol actively fights cavities by starving harmful bacteria that cause tooth decay. Dentists worldwide recommend xylitol gum for patients who want to improve oral health between brushings. Each piece of Simply Gum delivers approximately 1 gram of xylitol, contributing to the 5-6 grams daily recommended by dental researchers for cavity prevention. The peppermint flavor comes from real peppermint oil—not "natural flavors" that could be anything. This creates a genuine, refreshing taste that's noticeably different from the synthetic mint blast of conventional gums. The flavor experience is more subtle and authentic, lasting about 15-20 minutes before gradually fading. For those accustomed to chemically-enhanced flavors designed to last hours, this takes adjustment, but many users prefer the honest, natural taste once they make the switch. Simply Gum's commitment extends to packaging—the minimalist cardboard boxes are fully recyclable and compostable, and each pack includes biodegradable wax papers for discrete disposal. The company is certified Non-GMO, Vegan, and Kosher, meeting rigorous third-party standards. This 6-pack of 15-piece packs (90 pieces total) offers the best value for committed natural gum enthusiasts who want to ditch plastic-based alternatives for good.
