My favorite lollipop!

Well maybe not my own favorite food, but definitely a winner for my kids. And I like them too as a candy for my children, as they appear to be one of the few more natural and edible options in confectionery.

Since we moved to the US about 18 months ago, I have been on the hunt for 'healthy foods' for my family but I am having an extremely hard time to find candy that have all natural flavors and colors and, very important, that are tasty. In the Netherlands, there seemed to be a bigger selection of confections with natural colors and flavors in regular supermarkets. Here it is barely impossible to find something that meets those three criteria in the confectionery aisle, unless you visit a health/natural store. And to be honest, most of the candy that is available there is not enjoyed by anybody in our home.

I am a sucker for natural ingredients and good taste in foods, because, ultimately if it doesn't taste good, nobody eats it even if you call it candy. But the regular candy in the supermarkets all seemed to be full of artificial colors and flavors or if they are not, they do not taste good.

So I like these lollipops because they are organic and contain natural colors and natural flavors, no genetically modified corn stuff and even the citric acid used is organic. Besides that they look good, nice and colorful, are not too sticky (so the wrapper comes off) and did I mention it, my kids like them too?

So what lollipop  am I talking about? The lollipop, I like is from Yummi Earth and comes in bags or in cute boxes (see above, they also have smaller boxes)  that you can reuse easily to store other things.
