Pick your flavor
Strawberry
Bright, familiar and easy to love.
A juicy candy-style berry flavor with a tart lift. It feels familiar, but the sour edge stops it from tasting flat or simply sweet.
Grape
Rich, bold and unmistakably candy-like.
This is the playful North American “grape” profile found in candy, soda and gum—not the taste of fresh table grapes.
What should you expect from the first piece?
At the start
The biggest flavor hit comes first. Xylitol, food acids and flavor compounds begin releasing as soon as the gum meets saliva.
As you keep chewing
The fruit and sour notes gradually soften while the gum base remains flexible. Longer chewing does not bring the original flavor intensity back.
Think of PÜR Jumbo SOURZ as a bold burst of sour-candy flavor, not as mint gum designed to taste exactly the same for hours.
Will you love it?
Probably yes, if you:
- love sour fruit candy,
- enjoy Strawberry and Grape candy flavors,
- want something bolder than ordinary mint gum,
- prefer sugar-free, aspartame-free gum,
- enjoy a big, full piece of gum,
- want two flavors in one bag.
Possibly not, if you:
- only enjoy subtle or minty flavors,
- expect the taste of fresh grapes,
- want the flavor to remain equally strong for a long time,
- do not enjoy large pieces of gum,
- have sensitive chewing muscles or jaw joints.
What do reviewers abroad tend to mention?
Reviewers most often mention the genuinely large piece, the strong opening flavor and the fun of switching between two flavors. A recurring reservation is that the peak fruit flavor fades during the chew, while some buyers expected an even sharper sour hit.
The best match is someone who wants an exciting start and a candy-inspired experience—not perfectly steady flavor from beginning to end.
Want the deeper explanation?
Why does the flavor fade?
The water-soluble components of gum begin mixing with saliva immediately. Xylitol, food acids and part of the flavor system therefore create the strongest sensation at the beginning.
Once those readily released components have been depleted, the flexible gum base remains, but the original Strawberry or Grape intensity cannot simply return.
What happens to saliva while you chew?
Chewing mechanically stimulates saliva production, while taste signals reinforce the response. Saliva moistens the mouth, carries flavor compounds to the taste receptors and helps wash away some food debris.
The often-mentioned 20-minute figure relates to certain sugar-free gums and specific dental guidance. It is not a required chewing time or a special instruction for PÜR Jumbo SOURZ.
Because the piece is large, stop chewing if your jaw begins to feel tired, tense or uncomfortable.
What does “natural flavors” mean?
PÜR states that its flavor blends use natural powders and essential oils selected for the relevant flavor profile. The company also states that it does not use artificial flavors or artificial colors.
The complete Strawberry and Grape flavor formula is not publicly disclosed. “Natural flavors” therefore does not automatically mean that the flavor comes directly or exclusively from strawberries and grapes.
Sweet potato, black carrot and spirulina concentrates are listed separately and contribute to the color of the pieces.
What is the gum base made from?
Gum base is the flexible, water-insoluble part that creates the chew. PÜR lists it under the collective term “gum base” but does not publicly disclose its full composition or origin.
We therefore cannot currently confirm that it is made from natural chicle, contains no synthetic polymers, is plastic-free or is biodegradable.
Is this a dental gum?
It contains xylitol and no sugar, but it also contains malic, citric and tartaric acids to create its sour flavor.
We therefore present PÜR Jumbo SOURZ as sour-candy-style sugar-free gum rather than as a dedicated dental-care product. It does not replace brushing, interdental cleaning or regular dental checkups.
FAQs
Does every piece contain both flavors?
No. The bag contains separate Strawberry and Grape pieces.
How many pieces can I chew per day?
The pack does not state a fixed daily maximum. Each piece contains 3 g of xylitol, and tolerance to polyols varies. Start with one piece and avoid several in quick succession.
Is it suitable for keto or low-carb eating?
It contains no sugar, but each piece provides 3 g of xylitol and approximately 5 calories. Suitability depends on how you count polyols and on your personal daily limits.
Will it break a fast?
One piece provides approximately 5 calories according to the pack, so it is not suitable for a strict zero-calorie fast.
Is it suitable for children?
The pack does not give a minimum age. Offer it only to a child who can safely chew and dispose of gum, and supervise younger children. The Jumbo piece is much larger than regular gum.
Can I chew it with braces?
The large piece may place more strain on braces and chewing muscles. Follow your dentist’s or orthodontist’s advice.
Why must it be kept away from dogs?
Xylitol is dangerous to dogs, even in relatively small amounts. If a dog eats the gum, contact a veterinarian immediately.

The Canadian brand PÜR was founded in 2010. However, the brand's story slowly began much earlier, when one of the founders sold sweets out of his backpack as a child to make money.
The founding team was motivated to create the brand and develop these great chewing gums by the fact that artificial sweeteners in chewing gums and other sweets are becoming more and more widespread, and thus their negative impact on our health is spreading.
The PÜR team therefore set out to rid the world of aspartame and launched the first PÜR Mints product in 2015. Over the following years, chewing gum was added in other flavours, candies and new varieties were added, and PÜR never stopped working on further innovations. Although the brand is based in Canada, it has its products manufactured in Switzerland.
PÜR chewing gum and mints are
- Naturally sweet - 100% xylitol (natural sweetener from birch) makes these chews suitable for diabetics, so you can enjoy them without spiking your blood sugar. They are made from high quality ingredients without chemical additives, without compromising on taste.
- Also suitable for allergy sufferers and otherwise medically limited - PÜR chewing gums and mints are a simple substitute and healthy alternative to conventional chewing gums and mints, which contain harmful chemicals. They contain no peanuts, soy or tree nuts and are free from artificial sweeteners and flavours.
- For everyone - everyone should be able to have fresh breath without worry, no matter what their dietary restrictions are. PÜR products are vegan and gluten-free, non-GMO and naturally sweetened with 100% xylitol. It's also great for keto, low-sugar or no-sugar diets.
Benefits of PÜR gum and mints

Get to know PÜR Gum and ditch the aspartame!
The PÜR brand represents a combination of three key elements:
Simple substitution of raw materials. Regular sweets are full of artificial sweeteners and additives that are not good for our long-term health.
Thinking about allergies and people with food restrictions - inclusion. The brand is there for all people regardless of personal limitations or needs.
Top quality products - certified production hall in Switzerland, which guarantees that the production raw materials do not come into contact with any allergens.
For PÜR Gum and PÜR Mints, it offers consumers who prefer healthier alternatives natural substitutes that fit their healthier lifestyle or dietary restrictions. These vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free and peanut-free products represent the cutting edge in healthier chewing.
PÜR Gum is made from xylitol, a natural sweetener, and is also suitable for people suffering from diabetes who want to enjoy the simple pleasure of chewing.
These three pillars form the foundation that is evident in all PÜR products and the PÜR brand atmosphere. But this triumphant journey towards quality is not just the beginning. PÜR Gum's history is full of challenges and successes that are moving the company towards a dynamic future.
How it all started...
Taking it from the beginning, the story starts with Jay Klein, the founder of PÜR Gum, who as a young boy used to sell sweets from his backpack to his classmates at school.
In 2007, Klein started his own advertising and marketing firm instead of going to law school.
He took this chance to make his own mark. It was called Bonus and sold chewing gum made from superfood ingredients. Although it worked at first, eventually Klein had to leave.
"I got in over my head and just had to walk away from it," Klein told the National Post. "[We were] too resourceful. It was a really steep ride up [but] a quick fizzle."
However, the demise of Bonus Gum helped pave the way for PÜR Gum's future success.
Klein reconsidered and decided to start small. As he likes to say, he and his team decided to take the PÜR Gum and "run for mayor".
The process of "running for mayor" goes like this: Klein and his team went door-to-door, prioritizing networking, education and building relationships with customers and vendors.
"We didn't build our brand on the back of one giant retailer, which is usually a very ambitious thing for most small brands," Klein told Candy Industry's Abigail Watt. "We've been doing it more door-to-door. Every year we grew and were very persistent, hardworking and humble. And it worked."
Dragon's Den
It really worked. From the first month of May 2010 to July of that year, the PÜR Gum brand earned its place on the shelves of 33 local health food stores to 174 stores.
PÜR Gum continued to gain momentum. In 2011, the chewing gum was introduced to the US market and began appearing on the shelves of duty-free shops in airports.
But one of the brand's biggest wins came in 2014. Klein and his team appeared on CBC's Dragon's Den. Like many people before them, they put their proposal forward and waited to see if an investor/dragon would want to make a deal. They didn't get the attention of one dragon. They got the attention of four.
The Four Dragons offered Klein and his team three deals. After careful consideration, Klein accepted the joint agreement of Arelene Dickinson and Jim Trevliving for one million dollars. Klein thus became the first ever million-dollar deal in the history of Dragon's Den.
Within a year, PÜR Gum expanded its products to include mints. Menthols have all the values and standard of chewing gum, but in the form of a trap for people who don't want to or can't chew. This added to the success of the chewing gum and further growth of the company.
In 2016, PÜR became the tenth fastest growing company in Canada and the fourth fastest growing company in Toronto. However, PÜR has not yet reached its goal and is still trying to grow.
"We want to strengthen our global footprint and we want to continue to penetrate existing retailers," Klein says. "I think a big part of our growth will be expanding the PÜR brand, adopting the same brand values we operate by, and continuing to innovate with new products that meet customer demand."
The Future
Even the short history of PUR shows that it is a successful company that sells chewing gum and mints in more than 25 countries. Wondering how you can achieve the same?
Jay Klein's advice, which we follow as marketers:
"Be motivated by creating something for the greater good instead of being driven by a monetary milestone - this allows you to learn from mistakes and take risks, as well as grow from passion."
