Jujyfruits are a chewy, gumdrop-like starch-based candy, manufactured by Heide Candy Company, a subsidiary of Ferrara Candy Company. Jujyfruits began production in 1920. They were popular in movie houses along with Heide's other gummy candy, Jujubes. The banana shape is stamped with "HEIDE". Fruity flavors correspond to the colors (not the shapes) and include raspberry (red), anise/licorice (black), lime (green), orange (orange), and lemon (yellow).

Jujyfruits was featured in the TV series Seinfelds fifth-season finale, "The Opposite", and was also briefly mentioned in the sixth-season episode "The Scofflaw".

The romantic fantasy film Beastly features a main character (Lindy) with a penchant for Jujyfruits.
