What are naturally occurring Electrolytes?
The
naturally occurring electrolytes in Sharkies® come from the potassium
in the fruit juice and the sodium in the rice and water. These are not
the commercial electrolytes currently used in most products claiming to
have electrolytes. The source of most of those electrolytes is sodium
citrate and potassium phosphate. This makes them commercially processed
and generally low quality.
Aren't Sharkies just candy?
No, although children can and will consume Sharkies as a "better for
you" snack, none of the sugars in Sharkies are refined and half the
product is brown rice syrup giving it complex carbohydrates for
sustained energy. This added to the simple sugars from the fruit and
organic cane make Sharkies a functional, healthy alternative to candy or other fruit snacks. Unlike candy, Sharkies don't contain high fructose corn
syrup, sucrose, or further refined sugar.
What's the difference between Sharkies and jelly beans?
No
gelatin and no refined sugars are found in Sharkies. Complex
carbohydrates make up half of the ingredients, which keep children and
athletes from "sugar crashing" and sustains energy.
Why are they called Organic Energy Sports Chews? What is the energy source?
The
grape juice, which is a simple sugar, offers a quick burst of energy
and the brown rice syrup is a complex carbohydrate, which offers longer
sustained energy. The electrolytes allow for the absorption of water in
the cells and keep your body hydrated.
What is black carrot?
It's really more of a dark purple color but called a black carrot. It is the raw material of
Turnip salgum juice a natural color used in Sharkies.
