Gummy worms are chewy, brightly-colored candy pieces shaped like worms, made primarily from gelatin, sugar, corn syrup, and artificial flavors and colors. Originally developed in Germany, gummy candies trace their roots to the popular confection known as gummy bears. Typically enjoyed as a sweet treat across many cuisines, gummy worms are especially popular in Western snacks and desserts. Nutritionally, gummy worms are high in sugar and low in essential nutrients, making them a source of empty calories. They may contain small amounts of protein from gelatin, which is derived from animal collagen, but the health benefits are minimal when outweighed by their high sugar content. Due to the artificial additives, these candies are best consumed in moderation as an occasional indulgence rather than a regular part of a healthy diet. However, their fun shape and texture make them a favorite for themed treats and edible decorations.
