About Candies

Candies are sweet confections made primarily from sugar, often combined with ingredients like corn syrup, cocoa, fruit flavors, nuts, or gelatin. Originating from various global traditions, candies range from chocolate-based treats and gummies to hard candies and caramels, with notable influence from European, American, and Asian cuisines. While candies offer a quick energy boost due to their high sugar content, they generally lack essential nutrients and can contribute to tooth decay, weight gain, and other health concerns if consumed excessively. Some candies, like dark chocolate varieties, may contain antioxidants and trace minerals, offering minor health benefits when eaten in moderation. Typically enjoyed for their taste and as occasional indulgences, candies are best consumed sparingly as part of a balanced diet.
