When it comes to cannabis gummies, every ingredient matters. From texture and dietary preferences to shelf stability, these choices play a significant role in delivering the perfect edible experience. While gelatin-based gummies dominate the candy world, Glass Meadows has taken a different path—one that reflects our commitment to quality, innovation, and conscious consumer choices.
We exclusively use pectin-based gummies, a plant-based alternative that offers superior stability, inclusivity, and a cleaner, more premium feel. And now, we’re thrilled to partner with Melt-to-Make™ to take our edibles to the next level.
Here’s why pectin-based gummies are at the core of our offerings and how Melt-to-Make’s innovative sugar-free options will enhance your experience.
Key Differences: Gelatin-Based vs. Pectin-Based Gummies
While both gelatin and pectin act as gelling agents, their differences in origin, texture, and functionality are key to understanding why Glass Meadows stands firmly behind pectin:
Feature | Gelatin-Based Gummies | Pectin-Based Gummies |
---|---|---|
Main Ingredient | Gelatin (animal derived) | Pectin (plant-based, from fruit) |
Texture | Chewy, soft, and elastic | Firmer, with a smooth, slightly brittle bite |
Dietary Suitability | Not suitable for vegetarians/vegans | Vegan and vegetarian-friendly |
Shelf Stability | Sensitive to heat and humidity | More stable in heat and humidity |
Common Use | Traditional gummies (candy, edibles) | Health-focused gummies (supplements, edibles) |
Why Glass Meadows Chooses Pectin-Based Gummies
At Glass Meadows, we aim to create edibles that align with the values and lifestyles of modern consumers. Pectin-based gummies allow us to deliver:
1. Plant-Based and Inclusive
Unlike gelatin, which is derived from animal collagen, pectin is a fiber extracted from fruits like apples and citrus. This makes pectin-based gummies:
Vegan and Vegetarian-Friendly:Â Perfect for plant-based diets and ethical preferences.
Aligned with Wellness Goals:Â Plant-based products are seen as cleaner and more natural, appealing to health-conscious consumers.
2. Heat-Stable and Shelf-Friendly
Pectin-based gummies excel in heat and humidity, making them perfect for:
On-the-Go Lifestyles:Â Gummies that maintain their texture and shape in any environment.
Longer Storage:Â Durable enough to retain their premium quality over time.
3. Premium Quality and Texture
Pectin creates a firmer, smooth texture that delivers a satisfying bite without being overly chewy. It’s a sophisticated, elevated experience that reflects Glass Meadows’ high standards.
Why Pectin-Based Gummies Are the Future
Pectin-based gummies offer several advantages over gelatin that make them the clear choice for cannabis edibles:
Dietary Flexibility:Â Vegan and vegetarian options that fit a wide range of lifestyles.
Heat Resistance:Â Ideal for warm climates and extended storage.
Premium Experience:Â A firmer, smoother bite that feels cleaner and more refined.
Sustainability:Â Pectin is plant-derived, making it an eco-friendly alternative.
With the addition of Melt-to-Make’s sugar-free options, Glass Meadows is creating a lineup that meets the needs of all consumers, from health-conscious individuals to those seeking premium, innovative cannabis treats.
