About Skittles gummies
Skittles Gummies are a fruit-flavored candy derived from the original Skittles, introduced by the Wrigley Company, a division of Mars, Inc. Originating from the United States as a popular confectionary treat, Skittles Gummies are chewy, gelatin-based candies available in an array of bold, fruity flavors. Nutritionally, this product is primarily composed of carbohydrates, predominantly sugars, with minimal fat and no protein. A single serving (approx. 30g) typically contains around 100-120 calories, mainly from added sugars, which contribute to its high energy density. Skittles Gummies lack significant vitamins, minerals, or fiber, making them a treat rather than a nutrient-dense food item.
Health Benefits
- Quick energy source due to high sugar content, beneficial for immediate energy replenishment during intense physical activity.
- Can be part of a balanced intake when consumed sparingly as a fun, low-fat treat.
- Provides a low-sodium option for those monitoring salt intake.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or high humidity to prevent melting or stickiness.
