Sprinkles are small, colorful confectionery decorations made primarily from sugar, corn syrup, corn starch, and food-grade dyes, often with added flavors or coatings to enhance texture and appearance. They originated in Europe and have since become globally popular, particularly in desserts and baked goods like cakes, cookies, ice cream, and doughnuts. While sprinkles add visual appeal and a sweet crunch, they are primarily composed of sugar and artificial additives, offering little nutritional value. Most varieties lack essential vitamins, minerals, or fiber, and their high sugar content can contribute to excess calorie intake when consumed in large quantities. Sprinkles do not contain trans fats, making them cholesterol-free, but should be used sparingly as an occasional treat or garnish rather than a dietary staple.
