Gummy candies are chewy, bite-sized treats typically made from sugar, gelatin, and flavorings, with added color to create their vibrant appearance. Originating in Germany in the early 1900s, they gained popularity as versatile sweets that can be molded into fun shapes like bears, worms, or rings. While the simple ingredients make them an indulgent snack, gummy candies generally lack significant nutritional value, being primarily composed of sugar with minimal protein from gelatin. Some variants are fortified with vitamins and marketed as supplements, offering a small nutritional boost. However, regular gummy candies are high in calories and added sugars, making them less suited for a healthy diet if consumed excessively. They are gluten-free by default, but it’s important to check for specific allergen concerns. Moderation is key when enjoying these colorful confections, which are best treated as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple.
