{"product_id":"blackcurrant-sugar-free-sweets-box-45g","title":"Blackcurrant Sugar Free Sweets Box 45g","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeep purple fruit, a whisper of elderberry and a crisp herbal finish - the Ricola Blackcurrant Sugar Free Sweets Box 45g packs a surprising amount of character into every little drop. Made in Switzerland by a family company that has been crafting herbal sweets since 1940, these sugar-free treats bring together real concentrated blackcurrant juice with Ricola's signature blend of 13 Swiss Alpine herbs for a taste that is bold, juicy and refreshingly clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA Fruity Twist on a Swiss Classic\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlackcurrant has long been a British favourite, and Ricola's take on it balances tangy berry notes with gentle herbal depth. Concentrated elder juice adds a mellow, rounded sweetness, while a touch of peppermint oil and menthol leaves a cool, fresh feeling on the palate. The result is a sweet that feels grown-up without losing any of its fun. Each drop dissolves slowly, releasing layer after layer of flavour, so one sweet goes a long way whether you are at your desk, on the train or out for a walk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSweetened Without Sugar\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of sugar, these sweets use isomalt, a sugar replacer made from beet sugar, alongside steviol glycosides from the stevia plant and thaumatin. That means each 2.5g drop contains 0g sugar and roughly 6 kcal, making them a handy choice for anyone keeping an eye on their sugar intake or simply wanting a lighter treat. Because they are sugar-free, they also make a sensible option between meals when you want something sweet without reaching for traditional confectionery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Herbs Behind the Flavour\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Ricola sweet starts with the same heart: an extract of 13 herbs cultivated in the Swiss mountains. The blend includes elder blossom, burnet, cowslip, horehound, lady's mantle, mallow, marshmallow, peppermint, ribwort plantain, sage, speedwell, thyme and yarrow. Ricola works with local Swiss farmers who grow these herbs without chemical pesticides, then harvest, dry and process them with great care. It is this carefully sourced herbal base that gives every Ricola sweet its unmistakable aromatic backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy You Will Love It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuicy blackcurrant flavour with a hint of elderberry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade with Ricola's blend of 13 Swiss Alpine herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSugar free, sweetened with isomalt, stevia and thaumatin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for vegans and vegetarians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified Halal and Kosher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGluten free and lactose free, made in a nut-free environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural flavourings only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwiss made to consistent quality standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHandy 45g Box\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact flip-top box slips easily into a pocket, handbag, glovebox or gym bag, keeping your sweets fresh and ready whenever the craving strikes.
