Jelly candy is a popular confection made primarily from sugar, gelatin or pectin, flavorings, and food coloring. Known for its chewy texture and vibrant appearance, it is favored in many cuisines worldwide, with its origins tracing back to early gelatin-based sweets in Europe. While variations of jelly candy can include fruit juices or natural flavorings, most commercially produced options are high in refined sugar and artificial additives. Jelly candies typically lack significant nutritional value, offering minimal vitamins, minerals, or fiber. However, they are fat-free, making them a lighter choice compared to fatty or chocolate-based treats. As with most sugary snacks, moderation is key, as excessive consumption can contribute to dental issues and a high caloric intake. Some varieties are made vegan-friendly by using plant-based gelling agents like agar-agar instead of gelatin.
