Wheatberries (If you eat wheat, I don't) - the gluten in wheat makes a chewing gum. You can use unsoaked berries, but it is harder and takes longer to develop a glue, I would soak the berries a few hours until they swell, then chew on them trying not to swallow them and eventually the gluten will develop into a gum. I read about it in Mother Earth News when I was a kid and I've done it a few times.

I tried to find a link about it but all I could find was a little blurb at the bottom of an article.

We used to chew wheat to make chewing gum when we were kids. The moisture and chewing turned the wheat protein to gluten--the strands that make bred rise.

I like to eat the "cappings" from raw honey, it has peices of beeswax, pollen and propolis. I think it tastes delecious; you can chew the wax for a long time just like gum.
It's raw
but not vegan
