Why are Skratch Energy Chews easier to eat mid-ride than most chews?

Skratch Labs Energy Chews Sport Fuel are a pectin-based gumdrop-style chew: soft, easy to bite through even when you're breathing hard, and made without the wax, gelatin, or gumminess that makes most energy chews a chore to eat. Each single pouch of 10 chews delivers 160 calories and approximately 40g of carbohydrates from a glucose and fructose dual-transport blend that maximizes the total carbohydrate your gut can absorb per hour. Real fruit handles all the flavoring (grape juice, raspberry juice, orange juice, cherry powder, or lemon powder depending on the variant) with no artificial compounds, waxes, colors, or preservatives. The individual pouch is the right format for sampling a flavor, race-day jersey pockets, or top-up fuel on shorter efforts. Skratch Labs was founded in Boulder, CO in 2012 by two cycling pros who built their products around the single idea of real food that doesn't cause new problems while solving old ones.

Available in five flavors: Grape (caffeine-free, launched March 2025), Raspberry (caffeine-free), Orange (caffeine-free), Sour Cherry (50mg caffeine per pouch from green tea extract), and Lemon + Green Tea (approximately 4mg caffeine per pouch from natural matcha caffeine). Consume half a pouch (5 chews) per hour as a starting point for efforts over 2 hours. Non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, kosher.
