amyk49's Full Review: GoNaturally Organic Hard Candy Pomegranate, 3.5-Ou...
Oh yeah, I've got a sweet tooth, which makes it challenging since I try to avoid refined sugar when possible. I came upon these organic, natural candies at my supermarket and picked up a bag on a whim. Glad I did!
~ Product Description GoNaturally Organic Hard Candy Pomegranate are hand-made candies, and USDA Certified Organic. They are naturally sweetened without any high fructose corn syrup, additives or artificial colors. Note these have no cholesterol or trans fat, and are gluten free.
These hard candies come in a 3.5 oz. bag, which translates to 24 pieces of candy. Each smallish-sized round candy is individually wrapped, with the wrapping paper twisted at each end. I believe I paid about $4 for the bag. My grocery store is a small local chain, and while it does have some health food items, it doesn't stock a vast array of health food, so I was surprised to see this.

~ My Experience GoNaturally Organic Hard Candy Pomegranate are small, roundish hard candies with a sort of amber color. The graphic on the bag depicts red, glistening pomegranate seeds, but the actual candies are not red, which is fine with me, because there are no artificial colors. Plus your mouth and tongue don't turn bright red after sucking on them, so that's an advantage too!
The candies are smooth and don't scrape up the roof of your mouth, which is another plus. The taste is quite good, slightly tart, not overly sugary sweet, but just sweet enough. The taste is on the mild side.
Although the candies are small, they last quite a while as you slowly suck on them and allow them to dissolve. I don't have the urge to chew these, as sometimes happens with hard candy. I pretty much let them completely dissolve. If you want to chew though, they break up nicely without becoming gluey or sticky.
A serving size is 4 pieces, but I've never wanted that many. Two usually satisfies my candy craving just fine. And wow, these are really low in calories, so a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth without doing too much damage to your diet.
About the only con I can think of is that the bag they come in is not recloseable, but that's really not a big deal.
You can also find these in other flavors, such as apple, cherry, ginger, honey, and honey lemon. I want to try them all!
~ Final Thoughts GoNaturally Organic Hard Candy Pomegranate are fabulous, all natural organic hard candies with no high fructose corn syrup and simple, natural ingredients. They are tasty, last a long time, and satisfy a sweet tooth. What's not to like?
