Starburst Goodies, available in Original and FaveREDS varieties, share a new experience of a favorite square candy with a plant-based recipe made with real fruit juice and just eight grams of sugar per pack. While the Original lineup includes an assortment of fan-favorite Strawberry, Orange, Lemon and Cherry flavors, FaveREDS doubles down on a certain color with Watermelon, Strawberry, Cherry and Fruit Punch varieties inside.
These low-sugar plant-based gummies remind of classic fruit snacks but offer a feel-good experience that aligns with the preferences of a new generation of snackers. According to fans who've tried these plant-based gummies, they're so good that it's easy to eat a whole bag at once—so it's worth noting that a whole bag contains 24 grams of fiber.
