About Starburst candy

Starburst Candy is a popular chewy treat known for its bold, fruity flavors and vibrant colors. Originating in the United Kingdom, where it was first introduced as "Opal Fruits" in 1960, it is now enjoyed worldwide. Each piece is individually wrapped, offering a burst of flavors such as strawberry, orange, lemon, and cherry. Starburst is made primarily with sugar, corn syrup, and hydrogenated palm kernel oil, alongside artificial flavors and colorings. It contains negligible amounts of protein, fiber, and vitamins, making it a high-calorie, low-nutrient snack. While it is free of fat and cholesterol, the high sugar content—accounting for the majority of its calories—can contribute to tooth decay and may not align with a balanced diet when consumed excessively. Starburst is primarily an indulgence or occasional treat, ideal for satisfying a sweet craving rather than providing nutritional value.
