Gelatin candy is a sweet treat made primarily from gelatin, sugar, flavorings, and sometimes dye. Gelatin, derived from collagen found in animal bones and skin, gives the candy its chewy texture. While it is most commonly associated with Western confectionery, similar treats exist globally, such as gummy candies in Europe or agar-based counterparts in Asia. Gelatin candy is often high in added sugars, which can contribute to weight gain and dental issues if consumed in excess. On the positive side, gelatin provides a source of protein and certain amino acids, which may support joint and skin health. Variations with reduced sugar or natural flavoring can offer alternatives for those seeking a slightly healthier option. Despite its fun, colorful appearance and delightful chewiness, moderation is key when indulging in gelatin candy due to its sugar content and lack of significant nutrients.
