Things to chew on when you are mouth hungry?

Hello everyone!

I've been on a weight loss journey for quite a while, but I've been pretty locked in and on a reasonably steady calorie deficit for about 7 months now. I have recently found myself being increasing mouth hungry, as in, I know I'm not physically hungry but I would love something to chew on. Now normally gum seems like the obvious option, but alas I am unable to chew gum because it makes my throat hurt. (I don't know why, should I ask a doctor, maybe, but it's just not that big of a problem in my life)

Typically I'll drink a flavored water, seltzer, or diet soda, but there is just only so much liquid I can put into my body and I've never been better hydrated in my life.

For now I'm just ignoring it, but I likely have 6+ more months of deficit ahead of me to lose the last 30-40lbs, so if there are other options besides sheer will power I would love to explore those.

So I figured I would ask all you wonderful losers, do you have any low calorie, high mouth satisfaction foods? I would love to hear all recommendations!!!
