History and Fun Facts:
Gummies, also known as gummy candies, originated in Germany 🇩🇪 in the early 20th century with the famous Haribo brand. Over time, they became popular worldwide 🌍. The great thing about making them at home is that you can control the ingredients, reduce the sugar, and add natural flavors with fruit 🍓🍊🍋.
🛒 Basic ingredients (for about 25 gummies):
200 ml of natural juice (orange, strawberry, lemon, passion fruit… whichever you like best! 🍊🍓🍋)
8 sheets of neutral gelatin (or 20g of powdered gelatin)
2 tablespoons of honey 🍯 or natural sweetener
Fun silicone molds 🐻💖⭐
👉 Optional: a few drops of natural coloring (such as beetroot juice, spinach or turmeric to add color 🌈).
👩🍳 Step by step
