This is a perfect way to try out the Spruce gum. I bought it for my son and he really likes it. He said the first piece did not work (disintegrated right away) but the second piece worked well. He said it is perfect gum for long drives, and that is what he'll use it for
Great tasting spruce gum! A refreshing change from commercially made mass produced gum. The texture and chew takes a few minutes to develop but once it forms it maintains its texture and flavor and doesn’t disintegrate or go bland like conventional gum. Overall very happy with the product and proud to support a local Alberta business!
Loving this gum! This company is run by a beautiful family, very kind and honest. It’s nice having a gum that lasts. Very recommended! Thank you again!
Strong piney taste at first, easy to work into gum, and lasts a very long time. Much appreciated from this small Canadian business. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely loving this gum. Very easy instructions, and I appreciated the delivery to my door. I will be buying again.
I really like this stuff!!! It has a mild clove flavor and is not sweet at all which I like. Definitely expensive though!
Really enjoying the spruce gum, it was odd at first and I ruined my first piece but once carefully reading the instructions it was fine! It takes a bit longer than gum but, the flavour is good, helps with cravings, and I feel kinda like I'm on a trek through the wilds when I'm chewing it!
Product is great, takes some patience when it first cracks to pieces to form the gum.
Really enjoy chewing it, leavea my mouth feeling clean.
I use it after meals for 30 min - 1h for a mid day 'tooth brush'
The tin could use improvement, or I need to be more cafeful. If in my pocket little dust bits of broken product fall in the grooves in the twist top and make it hard to open/close.
I've added some wax/parchment paper inside to keep it cleaner.
It has taken a bit of getting used to. At first, I wasn’t a fan, but I’m on my 3rd piece now, and I’m actually quite enjoying it. I’ll definitely be buying more. It gives your jaws a good workout like you wouldn’t believe. This would actually be a great way to kick the habit of smoking too.
I'm not able to get a chewable gum from this batch, but its my first and I will be buying more. I feel as though my mouth is cleaner and stays fresher from the natural oils and I love the flavor. To make it chewable, I add regular corner store gum. I think the product could be made more interesting if sold separately with crafted flavor essential oils that can be re added to the gum to give it a new lease on flavor.
As someone who has never in my life, tried it the first one which I am still using took a while to get used to. Making sure it was warm enough to chew and getting used to the flavor.
It's was perfect and exactly what I ordered! Quick and easy process makes me give this company and product a 5 star review.
Oh wow!! That photo absolutely made me smile! Thank you for sharing that! And thank you for the review :)
The spruce gum is just as described. It shatters, releasing a taste of the deep pine forest, then after chewing, forms into a mildly “piney” pleasant flavored gum. I’ve been chewing my first piece off and on for four days. I really appreciate the little tin to store the gum! This is a great product and I recommend
I think I might have a year's supply or more with this one bundle 😄 it tastes exactly like you'd expect, like a spruce tree.
Once it's worked in, it's a great chewing experience. I left a new piece in my cheek for ~10 mins, and it was actually pretty awesome to get great gum on my first try. A bit of warmth goes a long way.
And, the instructional videos are a great help 🤓
And rewarming my PCP gum (previously chewed pieces) works a charm, only takes a minute, no shatter, and flavor stays around.
I also love what this company represents. A great natural product, sustainably harvested and in the long run, doesn't really cost more than cheap gum, because a single piece has such a long life.
And one last thing that kinda surprised me. A piece looks small, but once it's worked into gum, it kinda grows, like taffy. It's pretty cool 😅 I'll definitely buy again
It doesn't become gum even after 15 minutes
Hi! I'm sorry you weren't able to get it to come together. Natural resin gum definitely has a learning curve, especially the first time. It should begin gathering together as it warms and eventually form a chewable piece, rather than staying in separate crumbles for 15 minutes. We have a full beginner's chewing guide on our website that walks through the process and troubleshooting, and I'm always happy to help personally too. Please reach out to me and we'll figure out what happened with yours.
I chew gum at my desk every day, and have for years. I started exploring resin gum while searching for longer-lasting and plastic-free gum.
I was interested in Alberta Wildcraft because I prioritize supporting local businesses and I love that they hand forage! I had a lovely conversation with Maria via Instagram where we chatted about indigenous businesses, current pressures on Canadian small businesses, and grappling with living in Alberta in the year 2026. This conversation cemented my decision to try their gum!
I purchased at Light Cellar in Calgary, and this was my first experience with natural resin gum. I made the common mistake of not letting the gum totally warm up, but once I gathered all the crumbles, it was a really pleasant chewing sensation. It really does chew like normal gum, and it gets softer the longer I chew, not harder. I will need some time to get used to the natural taste, but I think thats a good thing to try to become accustomed to.
I think everyone should try this product if they are a chewing gum lover!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! I really enjoyed our conversation on Instagram, and it honestly means a lot that it helped you decide to give our gum a try. I also love that you shared your first experience so honestly, including the crumbles at the beginning because that little learning curve is so normal with natural resin gum! I'm so glad you got it together and ended up enjoying the chew. And thank you for supporting not only our little Alberta business, but Light Cellar as well. ❤️
Spectacular customer service. Amazing product.
Thank you so much! We put a lot of care into both our products and the people who buy them, so this means a lot to us. 🌲❤️
