Gummy worms
Gummy worms (also called Gummi Worms[1]) are a type of worm-shaped gummy candy. They are made from a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, and flavorings.[2][3] History
The invention of gummy worms can be attributed to the German confectionery manufacturer Trolli in 1981.[4] The unique shape and texture of gummy worms contributed to their versatility as a confection. Usage ranges from a topping for ice cream sundaes to serving as a key ingredient in various baking recipes. Gummy worms emerged as a popular choice among Halloween trick-or-treaters and are also used as party favors. IngredientsThe most common types of gummy worms typically contain gelatin, sugar, water, corn syrup or glucose syrup, flavorings (such as fruit extracts or artificial flavors), coloring agents, and, in some cases, citric acid for a sour taste.[5] Additional ingredients may include vegetable oils or waxes for coating and for preventing sticking.[5] VariationsGummy worms are sold in various flavors, sizes, and textures. Flavors include traditional fruit flavors like cherry, strawberry, and orange, as well as more adventurous options like sour apple, watermelon, and tropical blends.[6] .jpg) Some gummy worms have a sugar coating, and others a sour dusting. In terms of size, gummy worms can range from small, bite-sized pieces to larger, jumbo versions. Additionally, there are variations in texture, with some gummy worms having a softer, chewier consistency while others provide a firmer bite.[6] References
