Here at TakePart we’ve been promoting the importance of eating a diet filled with organic fruits, vegetables and whole grains. We also know that most people have a bit of a sweet tooth (including me!). If you are one of these people, here are a few scrumptious organic options that will make your tummy say mmmmm. The candies have no icky high fructose corn syrup, no unidentified “artificial flavoring” and no weird ingredients like carrageenan or maltodextrin. I follow the rule if you can’t pronounce the ingredients don’t eat them. These options have natural ingredients that you can pronounce.

YummyEarth has been featured on The Today Show and The Food Network. They make organic lollipops, organic candy drops and the world’s first ever and only USDA organic gummy bears and sour worm. You can find them at Whole Foods, Toys R Us and many other local stores. Everything YummyEarth makes is USDA and EU certified organic, gluten-free, peanut-free, tree nut-free and has no type of corn syrup.

Equal Exchange Products produce organic fairly-traded gourmet chocolate bars that supports small-scale farmers and their families. Their website explains, “the bars combine famous Swiss standards in chocolate making with cocoa from the farmer co-operatives CONACADO, in the Dominican Republic, COCABO, in Panama, and CACVRA, in Peru; fairly traded organic sugar from co-operatives in Paraguay and Costa Rica; and fairly traded vanilla from Madagascar.”

Theo Chocolate is the only organic fair trade, bean to bar chocolate factory in the United States. What sets Theo Chocolate apart is they take time and care to steward their cocoa beans through the entire manufacturing process, add only the finest, sustainably produced ingredients, and are proud to offer chocolate that is both ethical and delicious.

Enjoy!
