4 tins for people who already know this isn't ordinary gum.
Designed for regular spruce-gum chewers, long-term users, and anyone who wants to keep traditional Canadian spruce gum on hand without constantly reordering.
Spruce first. A little pine for elasticity.
Our Canadian Spruce Gum is made primarily from wild-harvested spruce resin. We blend in a small amount of pine resin for added elasticity, helping create the firm, long-lasting chew Alberta Wildcraft is known for.
Ingredients: 100% Tree Pitch
Traditional spruce gum lasts a long time, but regular chewers often prefer having extra tins on hand for convenience and fewer repeat orders.
What spruce-gum chewers are saying.
“This is my gum for life.”
“This gum is clean, tastes like nature, can be reused, and I love knowing what's in my mouth.”
— Candice“A fascinating experience — and it lasts a looong time.”
“First it shatters, then softens as you chew. A true taste of Canada.”
— Kenneth“Great quality gum from up north. Did not disappoint!”
— AbramTraditional spruce gum chews differently.
Canadian spruce gum is not sweet, stretchy commercial gum. It begins firm and needs warmth and technique before the tree pitch forms into a cohesive chew.
For people familiar with mastic gum, Canadian spruce gum offers a northern tree-resin chewing tradition with a strong, long-lasting chew. Traditional spruce resin gum is naturally different from conventional chewing gum and is also sought out by people looking for a firmer natural chew or an alternative to commercial jawline gum.
Bundle questions.
Is the gum in all four tins the same?
What is Alberta Wildcraft Spruce Gum made from?
Why do you add a small amount of pine resin?
Can the same piece be chewed again later?
Is this gum sweet?
Should a beginner buy the 4-tin bundle?
Has spruce resin been scientifically studied?
Yes. Spruce and pine resins have been examined in ethnobotanical and laboratory research, including research involving white spruce, black spruce and lodgepole pine — the same tree species we harvest for our resin gum.
Research has also examined chewing, saliva flow and the role saliva plays in the oral environment.
We’ve gathered the original studies, traditional-use sources and supporting research in one place — including what the research does and does not establish.

Food-regulatory sources show that some conventional chewing-gum bases can contain synthetic polymer ingredients. A 2025 pilot study presented by the American Chemical Society also detected microplastic particles released into saliva from both synthetic and natural commercial gums tested.
Aspartame is also permitted for use as an artificial sweetener in chewing gum. In 2023, IARC classified aspartame as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B), while JECFA reaffirmed its existing acceptable daily intake and Health Canada continues to permit aspartame at approved levels.
Alberta Wildcraft Spruce Gum contains no conventional synthetic gum base, no aspartame and no artificial sweeteners.
