About Haribo gummy bears
Haribo Gummy Bears are a popular confectionery originating from Germany, created by Hans Riegel in the 1920s. These brightly colored, chewable candies are shaped like small bears and are made from ingredients such as sugar, glucose syrup, gelatin, and fruit juice for flavor. Each serving contains approximately 140 calories, with minimal protein from gelatin and primarily consisting of carbohydrates from sugars. They are considered an energy-dense, low-nutrient snack.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy due to their high carbohydrate content (primarily sugars), which can temporarily replenish glucose levels.
- Contains small amounts of protein from gelatin, which provides amino acids like glycine, supporting joint health.
- Gelatin may support skin health and hydration due to its collagen content, though the amounts may be negligible.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a sealed container at room temperature, away from moisture and heat to maintain texture and prevent sticking.
