Fun Facts
It was the 1800's SPRUCE GUM that got the world's chewing gum market rolling! In 2023 the world wide chewing market was estimated to be $27.8 Billion!
In the 1840s, John Curtis from Maine started boiling and packaging spruce gum and selling it under names like “State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum.” His small factory is credited as the world’s first chewing gum factory.
Traditionally, spruce gum was chewed for aiding digestion as it really gets the saliva flowing.
Chewing a firmer piece of gum helps to strengthen your jaw muscles, thus giving you a more defined jawline!
Traditionally, spruce pitch was believed to have powerful antibacterial properties and was used to make an incredible salve (check out our AmberGoo Bomb!) that rivalled the healing abilities of raw honey and colloidal silver as seen in these studies, 1, 2.

My husband and I have purchased this a few times now and absolutely love it! We were looking for a gum that was natural and not full of chemicals and sugar and when we found this we were intrigued. The flavor is obviously very earthy/woody, but we love it! It did take a few tries to get used to how it shatters and needs to be put back together, but once we got the hang of it, it was a non-issue. We absolutely recommend and will purchase again when our stockpile runs out!
Awesome
Gave up all my other nasty habits. The stuff is awesome.
It is exactly as it is advertised. Don't expect any flavor other than the taste of pine gum, which works for me. It freshens my breath, and is a hardy piece of gum that will last for much of 3 to 5 chewing sessions. There is a little storage tin case, which can be purchased separately for a modest price, that really helps when I want to save the gum for later. And it does work your jaw into a pleasant exercise, as you chew it. I appreciate that I'm taking a step back into yesteryear, where this was a main item that you procured naturally, to stick in your mouth and chew. No chemicals just raw pine gum.
It is a great gift an pretty cool:) Also like supporting small Canadian businesses
Aww, thanks so much for your Canadian support Roxanne!
