Naru Naru Gumi no Mi: English Instructions, Step by Step
Share
Naru Naru Gumi no Mi — roughly “gummy berries that grow and grow” — is the Kracie kit where you grow your own fruit. Dip the stick in the juice, spin it, dip it in the powder, spin it again, and gummy berries build up along the branches one layer at a time. The more times you repeat it, the bigger they get.
What You're Making
Gummy berry clusters
Grape-flavour gummy berries along a branched stick.
Colourful toppings
A last sachet of toppings to sprinkle over the finished berries.
You control it
Keep dipping and they keep growing.

Kracie’s own rating. Easy, but it takes patience.
Water only, no microwave — it belongs with the other kits that need no heat.
Why the Berries Grow
Each pass coats the stick in a thin layer of juice, and the powder sets that layer into gummy. The next pass adds another layer on top. So the berries are not shaped — they are built up, the way a candle grows when you dip it.
That is why spinning matters. Turning the stick as you lift it spreads each layer evenly, so you get round berries instead of drips.

-
Snap the stick out of its frame and assemble it
The branched stick comes as parts on a frame. Put it together as the pictures show.
-
Make the juice
Juice sachet into the long well, water as printed on your pack, and stir until it is even.
-
Put the powder in the second well
This is what the juice sets in.
-
Dip in the juice and spin
Coat the branches, then turn the stick as you lift it out.
-
Dip in the powder and spin again
The berries start to form. Then go back to the juice.
-
Repeat until they are the size you want
Each round makes them bigger. Finish with the toppings sachet.
If No Berries Formed
Three causes, in the order they actually happen:
What to check
- You did not spin. Without turning, the juice runs off in drips instead of building up. Spin every time.
- Too few rounds. The first pass only makes tiny bumps. Keep going.
- The juice was too watery. A thin juice does not cling to the branches. Use the line on the tray.
Water is behind more failures across this whole range than anything else — we wrote up why the water is almost always the problem and what to pour if your tap water is hard.
Common Questions
Does it need a microwave?
No. Water only — here is the full list of kits like that.
What allergens does it contain?
Kracie declares soy, and it is made in a facility that also handles wheat, egg and milk. Always check the printed pack, and see our parents’ guide.
How big can the berries get?
As big as your patience. The pack gives you enough juice and powder for many rounds — stop when you like the size.
