Sour gummy candy, the Swedish way

Mostly set with starch

Most sour gummies on this shelf are set with starch rather than gelatin, which gives them a shorter, cleaner bite than an American gummy worm. A handful still use gelatin, among them the fizzy cola bottles and Ferrari's sour lemon lime cars, and every product page prints the maker's full ingredient list so you can see which is which. The sour itself comes from fruit acids in the coating: citric and malic acid on almost every label, with tartaric or lactic acid on a few.

The S-Märke line and friends

S-Märke's sour line is the classic Swedish sour gummy, here in cherry, apple, peach, watermelon, blue raspberry and lemon raspberry. Around it sit sour cola pacifiers, sour cherry lips, sour raspberry and pear twins, fruit clusters and Gott & Blandat's giant sour pieces. Fizzy pieces like the cola bottles and fizzy rings add a crackle on top of the sour. Start with a few of each and keep the ones that make you wince the right amount.

Vegan and gluten-free sour gummies

Several sour gummies here are marked vegan by their maker, and several contain wheat starch or wheat flour. If either matters to you, the vegan and gluten-free shelves do the filtering, and each product page shows the ingredient list so you can check the detail yourself. Sour gummies also mix well with everything else on the wall: a scoop of foam or a few berry pieces between the sours keeps a bag interesting to the bottom.
