Creating Better Chewing Gum with Simply Gum


Listen Later

Did you know almost all conventional chewing gums contain plastic and other synthetic ingredients?

Today's guest is on a mission to offer us all something better. 

Simply Gum is a sustainable food company that is disrupting the snacking industry with its better-for-you alternative to traditional gum and breath mints.

The company’s founder, Caron Proschan started Simply gum in 2014 after she discovered that regular chewing gum was made of a plastic base and filled with artificial ingredients. She started making batches of gum in her New York City apartment and sold the first Simply Gum products in local stores throughout Manhattan.

Today, Simply Gum is available at major retailers like The Fresh Market, Walmart, Thrive Market, Vitamin Shop and Amazon.

In my conversation with Caron, you’ll learn:

-How Simply Gum went from idea to successful business

-How Caron and her company is incorporating a mission of sustainability into its operation

-What we, as consumers, should be looking for when it comes to safe, natural snack products

You can also shop this brand on Amazon. Here’s my personal recommendations:
