Cotton candy, also known as fairy floss or candy floss, is a popular treat originating from 19th-century Europe and the United States. It is made by melting sugar and spinning it into thin strands using a high-speed machine, resulting in its light, fluffy texture. Traditionally composed of granulated sugar and sometimes food coloring for vibrant hues, cotton candy is almost entirely sugar with minimal added ingredients. Due to its high sugar content and lack of significant nutrients, it is considered a calorie-dense food with no health benefits. However, its airy composition means it is typically low in portion weight, providing fewer calories per serving than many other sweets. Cotton candy is a staple at carnivals, amusement parks, and festivals, often enjoyed for its nostalgic appeal rather than nutritional value. Despite its charm, moderation is key to avoiding excessive sugar intake.
