A playful plant-based treat with enough sour personality to pair brilliantly with tequila, bourbon and celebratory gifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes \u0026amp; Experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect an immediate sour-fruit sparkle followed by juicy waves of raspberry, crisp green apple and zesty lemon. Raspberry brings ripe berry sweetness, apple adds fresh orchard crunch and lemon provides a bright citrus edge that keeps the palate lively.

Across the range, the brand focuses on natural flavours and colours, reduced sugar and functional plant-based fibre, but its Sour Vegan Gummy Bears take that philosophy a step further by completely removing animal-derived gelatine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, the bears use plant-derived pectin as their gelling agent, creating a satisfyingly chewy texture while allowing the recipe to remain fully vegan. Tapioca-derived soluble fibre and chicory root fibre form the foundation of the formulation, with stevia providing additional sweetness and citric and malic acids delivering the characteristic sour snap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNatural concentrates derived from spirulina, safflower, carrot, pumpkin and red beet create the colourful appearance, while raspberry, apple and lemon flavours provide three distinct expressions of fruit. It is a clever combination of confectionery nostalgia and contemporary plant-based production, wrapped up in one colourful little pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standout feature here is not simply that these are vegan gummies, but how successfully FUNDAY has reworked the classic sour bear around a plant-based recipe. Pectin replaces conventional gelatine, while soluble tapioca and chicory root fibres help provide structure and sweetness. The result contains 91% less sugar than conventional sour gummy bears while maintaining the tart, chewy character people expect from the style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach 50g pouch delivers 7g of plant-based prebiotic fibre and contains no added sugar or sugar alcohols. The gummies are certified vegan and gluten-free, made using GMO-free ingredients and contain no artificial colours or flavours. Their raspberry, apple and lemon combination moves naturally between berry sweetness, orchard freshness and citrus acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a 4.5 Health Star Rating and a compact, contemporary pouch, they are also one of the most versatile FUNDAY options for gifting where dietary preferences matter. Paired with tequila, bourbon or a premium alcohol-free gift, they bring colour, texture and a genuinely distinctive sour-fruit personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRecognition \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sour Vegan Gummy Bears combine FUNDAY's award-winning confectionery philosophy with some of the strongest individual formulation credentials in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinner – Best Food Product\u003c\/strong\u003e – Naturally Good Awards 2022, FUNDAY Natural Sweets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4.5 Health Star Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e – FUNDAY Sour Vegan Gummy Bears\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e91% Less Sugar\u003c\/strong\u003e – Compared with conventional sour gummy bears\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertified Vegan\u003c\/strong\u003e – Plant-based recipe using pectin rather than gelatine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7g Plant-Based Prebiotic Fibre\u003c\/strong\u003e – Per 50g pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertified Gluten-Free\u003c\/strong\u003e – Independently gluten tested\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Added Sugar or Sugar Alcohols\u003c\/strong\u003e – A defining feature of FUNDAY's formulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Colours \u0026amp; Flavours\u003c\/strong\u003e – Including plant-derived colour concentrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's an impressive combination for a small gummy bear: plant-based, distinctly sour, considerably lower in sugar and still unmistakably fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLiquor Pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bears' bright sourness behaves almost like a citrus garnish, refreshing the palate and creating particularly good contrasts with agave spirits and richer oak-aged drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlanco Tequila:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zesty lemon and green apple mirror the brightness of fresh agave and citrus, while the sour finish works almost like the lime alongside a beautifully clean tequila serve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReposado Tequila:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gentle oak, vanilla and cooked-agave notes soften the bears' tart edge, creating an appealing sweet-sour contrast with the raspberry fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBourbon:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, vanilla and toasted oak provide a rich backdrop to sharp raspberry, apple and lemon, with the sourness refreshing the palate after each warming sip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Vodka:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chilled vodka gives the sour fruit centre stage, its clean profile sharpening the lemon and green apple while allowing raspberry to provide the sweeter finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy them between sips, add one as an unconventional garnish, or tuck the pouch into a COVE 27 gift box for a colourful vegan treat with plenty of personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect for Gifting or Everyday Indulgence\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertified vegan, colourful and packed with sour-fruit character, these bears are particularly useful when building a gift for someone following a plant-based lifestyle.
