Gummi candy, originating from Germany with the invention of gummy bears by Haribo in the 1920s, is a gelatin-based confection famously enjoyed worldwide. These chewy candies are typically made from ingredients like gelatin, corn syrup, sugar, citric acid, artificial or natural flavorings, and food coloring. Some variations may include fruit juice or vitamins, offering a small nutritional boost. While gummi candy is loved for its texture and sweetness, it's primarily a source of empty calories, providing little to no essential nutrients. High in sugar and sometimes containing artificial additives, excessive consumption can contribute to cavities and unhealthy blood sugar levels. That said, they are fat-free and can be enjoyed in moderation as a fun treat. Always check labels for variations like sugar-free options, which may use alternative sweeteners. Gummi candy is a delightful indulgence best enjoyed sparingly as part of a balanced diet.
