For this issue’s Edible of the Month, we’re featuring Wyld’s Huckleberry gummies. This one is a bit of a nostalgic pick for me because these were some of the gummies on the rec market that I always enjoyed on West Coast work trips. These solventless hash rosin edibles are made with all-natural ingredients and real fruit, elevating the edible experience.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the clever and creative packaging design. Wyld has been around the West Coast for a while, utilizing their signature dimensional packaging with some really fun, bold botanical-inspired illustrations. This design gives the product a great presentation and creates the impression of an upscale or luxury experience.
We went with the hybrid huckleberry flavor for our testing protocol and were impressed by the result. The tart and vibrant fruit flavor immediately tells tastebuds that these are not synthetic and don’t come with a cloying, syrupy aftertaste. It’s still a gummy, but the flavor is closer to eating a handful of fresh-picked berries on a hike. Overall, the texture was pretty smooth with just enough chew to hold its form together.
Like many edibles, the high has a delayed onset, but all of a sudden, I felt like I was a little bit cozier, calmer and in a better mood. The first thing I noticed was a spreading warmth that envelops the body, followed by a faint buzz of euphoric good vibes. It reminded me of the type of good vibes that you get from taking a walk with an old friend. You don’t feel removed from yourself. Instead, you feel tuned in to a wavelength of peace and good vibes. These would be great for watching a movie, doing some chores or taking a nature walk with a friend.
Effects-wise, “playful” on the packaging was the right call for describing these hybrid chewy gems. It’s a good reminder that not every edible needs to rock your world. Sometimes, you just want a little vibe shift, and these gummies do just that, leaving you elevated and happy without being couch-locked. Just good fruit, good vibes and a mood-boosting high that will leave you reaching for another one.
