Gummy bears are small, fruit gum candies, similar to a jelly baby in some English-speaking countries. The candy is roughly 2 cm (0.8 in) long and shaped in the form of a bear. The gummy bear is one of many gummies, popular gelatin-based candies sold in a variety of shapes and colors.

History

The Gummy bear originated in Germany, where it is popular under the name Gummibär (rubber bear) or Gummibärchen (little rubber bear). The gummy bear was invented in 1922 by Hans Riegel, a confectioner from Bonn who started the Haribo company.

Production

The production process of gummy bears is a complex series of steps that involves gelatin, sugar, glucose syrup, starch, flavoring, food coloring, citric acid, and wax for shine. The ingredients are mixed together and heated until they form a liquid, which is then poured into bear-shaped molds and left to cool and harden.

Varieties

There are many varieties of gummy bears, including different flavors, colors, and sizes. Some popular flavors include strawberry, apple, orange, pineapple, and lemon. There are also sour gummy bears, which are coated in a sour sugar mixture, and sugar-free gummy bears, which are made with artificial sweeteners.

Health concerns

While gummy bears are a popular treat, they are not particularly healthy. They are high in sugar and offer little to no nutritional value. In addition, the gelatin used in gummy bears is often derived from animal products, which may be a concern for vegetarians and vegans.

In popular culture

Gummy bears have been featured in various forms of media and popular culture. They have been the subject of a children's animated series, Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears, and have been featured in various songs, movies, and video games.
