Organic Breath Freshener Los Lunas NM

There’s a new breath freshener in town and it’s not curiously strong—it’s curiously organic. For the past few months I haven’t left the house without a tin of VerMints , a breath freshening candy made with organic ingredients. VerMints are also made without any animal products (Altoids contain gelatin, which is animal-based) and are gluten free. As an occasional meat eater who also enjoys a big plate of gluten-full pasta, I must admit that those were not the deciding factors in my switch to VerMints. Instead, I was intrigued by the organic crystallized cane juice, organic maple syrup and organic mint leaves. And I was hooked by the clean, refreshing taste.

I’ve been testing natural mints for years and always found them slightly off—the way a chocolate chip cookie made without butter can taste funny if not made with experienced hands (future post: round-up of the best vegan cookies). VerMints are the first natural peppermint to successfully freshen my breath without leaving the heavy, lingering back note of alternative sweeteners like steevia. And as an added bonus, each mint deposits a tiny mint leaf or two on your tongue once it dissolves.

I’m partial to Peppermint , but check out the other fun flavors like Wintermint and Gingermint ....
