Brand

Simply Gum

Brooklyn, NY

Simply Gum is a natural products brand from Brooklyn, NY with 7 products on Beacon Discovery, mostly shelf stable candy. 3 are Certified Non-GMO and 3 Certified Vegan, and its range is distributed by UNFI, KeHE and Other.

Started in 2014 by Caron Proschan, SIMPLY is a leader in natural gum, mints, and confections. Caron started SIMPLY after she discovered that regular chewing gum is made of a synthetic plastic base and filled with artificial ingredients. She started making batches of gum in her NYC apartment and sold the first Simply Gum products in local stores throughout Manhattan. Refreshingly normal ingredients... We're now expanding beyond gum & mints to become your new favorite go-to brand for sweet snacking. Instead of weird, throwaway ingredients, we use things like dates in our chocolates, real fruit in our gummies, and chicle (a tree sap) in our gum.
