About Fruit roll up

Fruit Roll Ups are a processed, sweet snack made primarily from concentrated fruit puree, sugar, and other flavorings, often shaped into thin, pliable sheets. Originating from the desire to create portable snacks from preserved fruits, they are popular in Western cuisine, particularly in the United States. While marketed as fruit-based, they often contain minimal whole fruit and are high in added sugars. They are low in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins, offering primarily carbohydrates and small amounts of Vitamin C (from fortification or additives). These snacks are a convenient treat but lack the natural nutritional benefits of whole fruits.
