About Haribo colorado
Haribo Colorado is a popular mixed confectionery product originating from Germany, created by the world-renowned Haribo company. Introduced as a variety pack, it features a combination of gummies, licorice, marshmallow, and foam candies. As a processed snack, its nutritional profile includes high sugar content, contributing primarily to caloric intake with minimal protein, fiber, and micronutrients. Haribo Colorado is considered an occasional treat rather than a health-focused food, as it is high in carbohydrates and added sugars, with trace amounts of fat and protein. A 40-gram portion typically provides approximately 140-160 calories with 23-26 grams of sugar, depending on the mix of candies included.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy due to its high simple carbohydrate content, beneficial in cases of sudden energy drops.
- Contains trace amounts of gelatin, which is a source of collagen and may support skin elasticity and joint health in small amounts.
- Certain varieties within the mix contain licorice, which has compounds that may aid digestion and soothe mild stomach discomfort.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent candies from melting or becoming sticky.
