Unreal Candy

This product earns a 3 out of 5 green leaves rating. The Unreal Candy Crispy Quinoa Gems are a snack option for those seeking a treat with some consideration for cleaner eating. The product does not claim organic status, which results in a deduction from its overall score. However, it is made with non-GMO ingredients, a positive aspect for consumers concerned with genetic modification in their food.

The ingredients list features dark chocolate, organic cane sugar, organic quinoa crisp, and a natural coloring derived from beetroot juice and spirulina extract. The presence of gum acacia and carnauba wax is noted, as these are common in candy coatings for texture and shine. The use of added sugars, including cane sugar and organic tapioca syrup, contributes to a lower score due to their potential impact on health when consumed in excess.

While the product includes healthier elements such as quinoa crisp and avoids GMOs, the deduction in points is due to the lack of organic certification and the inclusion of added sugars. These factors are critical to note for those prioritizing a diet with minimal processed sugars and a preference for organically sourced ingredients.

The Unreal Candy Crispy Quinoa Gems find themselves in a middle ground. They offer an alternative to conventional candy with the inclusion of quinoa and the absence of GMOs, yet they do not fully meet the criteria for those seeking organic products. The balance between these elements reflects the average rating awarded to this candy. The product stands as a choice for consumers looking to indulge in a sweet treat while still making some concessions towards cleaner eating habits.
