Gummy candies are a popular sweet treat, known for their chewy texture and vibrant flavors. They are typically made from gelatin, sugar, corn syrup, food coloring, and flavoring agents. Some variations may include pectin or agar-agar as alternatives to gelatin for a vegetarian or vegan option. Originating in Germany, gummy candies gained worldwide recognition with the creation of gummy bears by Haribo in the 1920s. While they provide a quick source of energy due to their sugar content, gummy candies are generally low in nutrients and high in added sugars, making them less ideal for frequent consumption. Certain types may be fortified with vitamins, offering minimal nutritional benefits. Their bright, colorful appeal makes them a favorite among children and adults alike, but moderation is key to enjoying them as part of a balanced diet.
