A Review of Hi-Chew, a Healthy Fruit Candy Alternative

Hi-Chew is a unique Japanese fruit snack sold by Morinaga & Company worldwide. It is part of the Morinaga Candy Group, which also produces Hi-Chew candies and other confections. It's a relatively new product that was developed for the market by graduate students working in the electronics industry. The candy is very small, about the size of a Troy ounce (3.5 grams), and it is a hominy derivative from the plant Camellia Sinensis, which is the same source as peanuts and cashews. Its scientific name is Homosapenta Monocarpum, or even Monarda in some places.
The name'HI-Chew' is taken from the first letters in the product name, and also refers to the crunchy, licorice-like taste of the candy. The candy is very sweet, with a fruity aftertaste. The makers claim that the sweetness can be adjusted by adding a little milk or juice. This makes the candy very different from other chewable candies. For example, chewing gum would dull the taste. Hi-Chew comes in 22 different flavors, including: raspberry, orange, apple, strawberry, black cherry, cranberry, fizzy, yogurt, peppermint, lemony, nutty, vanilla, peanut butter, tropical, and pungent.
Hi-Chew was created in the mid-nineties by a man named Koichi Ueshiba, who worked in the research and development department of the electronics company Panasonic. He had received a patent for creating a new kind of candy that combining the sweetness of grapes and the crunchiness of nuts, and according to the manufacturers, he began selling his new product in Japan in April or May of that year. According to the makers, Hi-Chew was the first candy product to incorporate the artificial ingredients that are found in commercial gum and candy.
The main ingredient used in creating hi-chew is a Japanese variety of grape called Shabu-Hachi, which has been used for hundreds of years to ferment. In order to release its full fruity flavor, the wine must be allowed to ferment at a high temperature. It is during the fermentation stage that the real flavor of the grape is released. Because of this, Hi-Chew has chosen to blend grape seeds and flavorings in order to give consumers the traditional, fruity candy taste they have come to love. One of the many flavors that Hi-Chew features is called melon bouquet, which is a combination of raspberry and orange flavors.
Other ingredients found in Hi-Chew are honey, fruit juices (from either white or red grapes), and artificial flavors, such as lemons and limes. Honey is used as a natural sweetener, while fruit juices are used primarily as snacks. Artificial flavors are usually vegetable-based, such as lime, apple, or celery. By using artificial flavors and fruit juices, Hi-Chew maintains its price tag, which is often much lower than competing brands of fruit candy.
As one of the most popular candy and fruit snack items in the United States, it is no surprise that Hi-Chew has an array of different products for sale. The majority of the Hi-Chew products are distributed in four different flavors; green apple, banana, plum, and lemons. Hi-Chew products can also be found for sale online. With millions of calories being eaten every year, it is important for manufacturers to provide a healthy alternative to candy.
