About Gummy candy

Gummy candy is a popular sweet treat characterized by its chewy, gel-like texture and colorful appearance. Originating in Germany in the early 20th century, gummy candy is made primarily from gelatin, sugar, corn syrup, flavorings, and food coloring. Some varieties include fruit juice or citric acid to add a slightly tangy taste. Despite its fun and appealing design, gummy candy is generally high in sugar and low in essential nutrients, making it a snack best consumed in moderation. Most gummies contain artificial additives and lack fiber, protein, or vitamins, though some brands fortify their products with vitamins or offer lower-sugar options. While it is a quick source of energy and can satisfy cravings, its high sugar content can contribute to tooth decay and energy spikes followed by crashes. Enjoy gummy candy as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple for balanced nutrition.
