About Starburst

Starburst is a chewy, fruit-flavored candy that originated in the United Kingdom in 1960 and later gained global popularity. Made primarily from sugar, corn syrup, and hydrogenated palm kernel oil, Starburst features artificial and natural flavors that mimic fruits like strawberry, orange, cherry, and lemon. Each piece is individually wrapped, making it easy for portion control but also high in refined sugars and calories, with minimal nutritional value. While its bright packaging and bold flavors appeal to the senses, Starburst offers little in terms of health benefits. It contains small amounts of citric acid for tanginess but is devoid of significant vitamins, minerals, or fiber. Due to its sugar content, overconsumption may contribute to cavities and energy spikes. As an occasional treat, Starburst can be enjoyed in moderation, but it is best complemented by a balanced diet rich in whole foods.
