Gummy worms are a type of chewy candy originating from Germany, where gummy confections were first created in the early 20th century. Typically made from sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, food coloring, and flavorings, these colorful, worm-shaped sweets are a popular treat among children and adults alike. While gummy worms provide quick energy due to their high sugar content, they lack essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, or fiber. The gelatin in gummy worms, derived from collagen, contains small amounts of protein, but the overall health benefits are minimal. Regular consumption should be moderated, as excessive intake can contribute to cavities, weight gain, and blood sugar spikes. Gummy worms are best enjoyed as an occasional indulgence rather than a dietary staple. Popular in Western cuisines, they are often featured in desserts such as "dirt cups," which combine gummy worms, crushed cookies, and pudding for a fun and whimsical treat.
