Vampires Lunch
Look no further for the best gummies ever! Seitenbacher Natural Foods Factory has a line of gelatin-free gummi fruits with cute names like "Smooch Lions" (apple flavored) and "Roses for You" (rose scented), but their very best product is none other than black currant and black pepper flavored "Vampires Lunch." I love these things!
As you can see, they come in ultra dark-red colored blood drop and skull & crossbones shapes (although i would've preferred a fat bat to the skull & crossbones). They taste exactly as they're described, with a strong black currant flavor ending with a tiny kick of black pepper at the end - not enough to discourage the anti-savory-fruit people, but just enough for you to notice something.
Most importantly, they contain no animal derived gumming agents, instead using fruit pectin to create a nice firm chewy gummy. Unlike some other vegetarian gummies, these are not pasty, powdery or grainy. They aren't as hard as some gelatin gummies but definitely firmer than those squishy gummy bears.
So where to get them? We've only ever seen them at Essene in Philadelphia, so try your independent natural market first. You can also order them online direct from Seitenbacher. Note the "Sunhats" gummies with vitamins are not as good. Totally stick with the Vampires Lunch and you can't go wrong. I always want to eat the whole bag in one sitting, without sharing!
