Gum Drops are small, chewy candies coated in sugar, often molded into dome-like shapes. Originating in the United States during the 19th century, they are made primarily of corn syrup, sugar, gelatin, and flavorings, which can range from fruity to spicy. Some varieties include food coloring to create a vibrant appearance. Gum Drops are popular in baking and are often used to decorate cakes and cookies or enjoyed as a stand-alone sweet treat. While they offer a quick source of energy due to their high sugar content, they lack essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Consuming them in moderation is advised, as their sugar levels can contribute to dental cavities and blood sugar spikes. Gum Drops are gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities, but they should be eaten sparingly as part of a balanced diet.
