Hi-Chew, the Japanese Hi-Chow Fruit Gum

Hi-Chew is a Japanese candy chew made by Morinaga & Company. The main ingredient of Hi-Chew is the citrus chewing gourd. The gourd is ground and processed into powdered form, mixed with ingredients like rice bran oil, sugar, dried plums, and others depending on the brand and sweetness of the gourd. There are over forty varieties of Hi-Chew candies and each has its own distinctive flavor.

Some versions of the Hi-Chew candies are in the shape of coconuts, haupia, watermelon, pineapple, and even green apples. With its distinctive flavor, Hi-Chew had its start as a fruit drink prepared from a pineapple and various fruits and various mixes. The fruit drink became popular in the United States and was later introduced in Japan. The Hi-Chew candy has since become a favorite of children, grown-ups, and those who love eating snacks.

There are two kinds of Hi-Chew candy: individually wrapped and filled with fruit. The Hi-Chew fruits are: pineapple, kiwi, mango, grapes, bilberry, kiwi, raspberry, strawberry, lime, lemon, litchi, and orange. Some Hi-Chew candy has flavors like: chocolate, peanut butter, and vanilla. The individually wrapped Hi-Chew candies are usually placed in small bags, which is sometimes referred to as "bungalows" which resembles the shape of a bowling ball.

Hi-Chew's manufacturers use a special type of chocolate that contains no gluten or lactose. This kind of chocolate is called Choc-O and is more expensive than other types of chocolate. Choc-O contains a small amount of sugar and can be combined with fruit juices such as cranberry, raspberry, apple, and blueberry juices. Hi-Chew's web site claims that Hi-Chew has more flavors in the United States than any other competitor, but it cannot provide information on the flavors available in Canada. In addition, the web site does not provide information on the ingredients in Hi-Chew, if there are any.

Hi-Chew products vary greatly in price. A packet of individually wrapped candy costs around $5.00 in the United States, while in Japan the price is closer to one dollar. The price of Hi-Chew varies according to the product.

Hi-Chew candy comes in different flavors including: cherry blossom, chocolate, banana split, carrot cake, and watermelon. In addition, Hi-Chew has been licensed to produce its own distinct flavors for markets in Japan. For example, there is a version called Hi-Chew Cherry Blossom which is created with a blend of cherry blossom syrup. Hi-Chew has also licensed the rights to use the brand name "Hi-Chow" across the globe where it is the principal brand. In addition, Hi-Chew has its own product line including individual flavors such as "Merry Go Home," "Chocolates and Carrot Cake," and "Chocolate Caramel".
