fruit gums

Chewy fruit sweets

Fruit gums are firm, chewy candies flavored to taste like various fruits—typically lemon, orange, lime, strawberry, and blackcurrant.

A British confection, they have a dense, gummy texture that requires sustained chewing, distinguishing them from softer gummy candies.

She offered me a fruit gum from the packet.
