About Jelly sweets
Jelly sweets, also known as gummy candies, are popular confections made primarily from gelatin, sugar, glucose syrup, and flavorings. Originating in Germany with the creation of gummy bears in the 1920s, these treats have since become beloved worldwide. They come in various shapes, colors, and fruity flavors, often enhanced by food coloring and citric acid for tanginess. While jelly sweets contain minimal nutritional value, they are free from fats and can be enjoyed in small quantities as an occasional indulgence. However, they are high in added sugars, which may contribute to tooth decay and weight gain if consumed excessively. Vegan alternatives use plant-based gelling agents such as agar or pectin instead of gelatin. While not considered healthful, jelly sweets are appreciated for their playful, chewy texture and vibrant appeal, often associated with childhood nostalgia. Moderation is key when including them in a balanced diet.
