Gummy worms are a type of gummy candy that are shaped like worms. They are a popular confectionery item, especially among children, and are known for their chewy texture and sweet taste. Gummy worms come in a variety of colors and flavors, often featuring a combination of fruity tastes.
History
Gummy worms were first introduced in 1981 by the German company Trolli, which is known for its wide range of gummy candies. The creation of gummy worms was inspired by the success of gummy bears, which were invented by Haribo in the 1920s. The unique shape of gummy worms was designed to appeal to children and to add a playful element to the candy.
Ingredients
The primary ingredients in gummy worms include:
Some gummy worms may also contain citric acid to provide a sour taste. There are also vegetarian and vegan alternatives that use pectin or agar instead of gelatin.
Production
The production of gummy worms involves several steps: 1. **Mixing**: The ingredients are mixed together to form a thick syrup. 2. **Molding**: The syrup is poured into worm-shaped molds. 3. **Cooling**: The molds are cooled to allow the gummy mixture to set. 4. **Coating**: The gummy worms are often coated with a fine layer of sugar or sour powder. 5. **Packaging**: The finished gummy worms are packaged for distribution.
Varieties
Gummy worms come in various types, including:
- **Regular gummy worms**: These are the standard sweet gummy worms.
- **Sour gummy worms**: These are coated with a sour sugar mixture.
- **Glow-in-the-dark gummy worms**: These contain ingredients that make them glow under black light.
Cultural Impact
Gummy worms have become a staple in the candy industry and are often used in creative ways, such as in dirt cake, a dessert that mimics the appearance of soil and worms. They are also popular during Halloween and other festive occasions.
