About Skittles

Skittles are a popular fruit-flavored candy that originated in the United Kingdom in the 1970s and are now produced by Mars, Inc. These colorful, bite-sized candies are coated with a hard sugar shell and emblazoned with an "S" on each piece. Skittles come in a variety of flavors, typically referencing fruits like grape, lemon, lime, orange, and strawberry. Ingredients include sugar, corn syrup, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, citric acid, and artificial flavors and colors. While Skittles provide a quick energy boost due to their high sugar content, they lack essential nutrients and contain artificial additives, making them best enjoyed in moderation. With no fat or cholesterol, they may be a lower-fat treat compared to some snacks, but they are not considered a healthy option due to their high calorie and sugar levels. Skittles are mainly enjoyed as a sweet indulgence rather than a nutritional choice.
