Many of us grew up enjoying Laffy Taffy. What’s not to like - it’s chewy, it’s fun to say, and there’s a joke on every wrapper. Unfortunately, Laffy Taffy has corn syrup listed as its first ingredient. It also contains many other ingredients, some of which are sugar, cottonseed oil, and dyes.

Numa is new and nu-found. Numa uses real, functional ingredients. Numa is all natural, low in sugar, gluten free, and high in protein. Numa means mother and daughter in Chinese and was founded by a mother and daughter. Joyce (Nu) grew up with an autoimmune disease that required her to eat whole foods and limit sugar intake, however, she also had a major sweet tooth (we know the feeling). When she started traveling for work, she struggled to find a healthier sweet alternative so her Ma, Jane, whipped up a healthier version of her favorite childhood candies from China. And that's how Numa was born. 

Taffy that is made with real ingredients and protein. Now that’s no joke!
