About Candy floss

Candy floss, also known as cotton candy, is a popular sweet treat made primarily from spun sugar. Originating in the late 19th century, it was first invented in the U.S. and became a staple at fairs, carnivals, and amusement parks worldwide. The process involves heating and liquefying sugar, then spinning it into thin threads to form fluffy, cloud-like strands. Food coloring and flavoring are often added to enhance its appeal. Nutritionally, candy floss consists almost entirely of sugar, making it very high in simple carbohydrates but devoid of fat, protein, vitamins, or minerals. While low in calories per gram due to its airy texture, it offers little nutritional value and can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. Consumed in moderation, it’s a fun occasional indulgence, but frequent consumption is not recommended for a balanced diet or dental health.
