Tree Hugger Classic Bubble Gum Xylitol (12-Pack, 96 Pieces) - Real Mayan Rainforest Chicle, 100% Natural, Plastic-Free
Tree Hugger

Overview
Tree Hugger Gum takes the "natural gum" concept to its purest expression with just five simple ingredients—proving that effective, enjoyable chewing gum doesn't require a chemistry degree to understand. Each piece contains xylitol, 100% real chicle gum base sourced directly from the Mayan Rainforest, calcium carbonate, natural flavors, and sunflower seed lecithin. Period. No hidden ingredients, no "proprietary blends," no processing aids that don't need to appear on labels. The chicle in Tree Hugger comes from sapodilla trees in the ancient forests of the Yucatan Peninsula—the same region where the Mayans first discovered chewing gum over 1,000 years ago. Traditional "chiclero" harvesters sustainably tap these trees using techniques passed down through generations, extracting the milky sap without harming the trees. This isn't just sourcing; it's cultural preservation that supports indigenous communities while protecting biodiversity. Tree Hugger's partnership with Trees for the Future adds an extra layer of environmental impact. The organization helps farming families in developing countries plant trees to restore degraded lands, providing food, income, and environmental benefits. Your gum purchase contributes to this reforestation mission—chewing gum that literally plants trees. The Classic Bubble Gum flavor delivers nostalgic pink bubblegum taste using natural colorants from beetroot juice rather than artificial Red 40. Sweetened exclusively with xylitol, each piece provides cavity-fighting benefits while satisfying your sweet tooth. The individually wrapped pieces stay fresh and portable—perfect for bags, cars, and desks. As a certified Non-GMO, vegan, nut-free, soy-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free product, Tree Hugger meets virtually every dietary restriction. The kosher certification adds another layer of verification for those who require it. This 12-pack of 8-piece bags provides 96 pieces total—enough to experience whether real chicle gum suits your chewing style while making a measurable difference for forests and farming communities worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Tree Hugger only have 5 ingredients?
Tree Hugger believes gum should be simple. The five ingredients—xylitol, chicle, calcium carbonate, natural flavors, and sunflower lecithin—are all you need for enjoyable, healthy chewing. There's no processing aids, preservatives, or texture modifiers hiding behind vague terms. What you see is literally what you get.
What is Mayan Rainforest chicle?
Chicle is natural tree sap from sapodilla trees that grow in the rainforests of Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize—the ancient Mayan homeland. The Mayans discovered chewing chicle over 1,000 years ago. Tree Hugger sources directly from this region, supporting harvesters who use traditional sustainable tapping methods passed down through generations.
How does Trees for the Future work?
Trees for the Future helps farming families in sub-Saharan Africa plant millions of trees to restore degraded farmland. The trees provide food, animal fodder, firewood, and income while reversing deforestation. Tree Hugger contributes to this mission, so your gum purchase has tangible reforestation impact.
Why is the rating lower than synthetic gums?
Natural chicle gum behaves differently than plastic-based gum. Flavor fades faster, texture can vary, and it won't blow bubbles like synthetic alternatives. Many negative reviews come from unrealistic expectations. Those who understand natural gum limitations and appreciate authentic ingredients become loyal fans.
Is bubble gum flavor made naturally?
Yes! The classic pink bubble gum taste comes from natural flavor compounds, and the pink color is from beetroot juice—not artificial Red 40 or other synthetic dyes. It's nostalgic bubblegum flavor created the way it should be: with real ingredients.
