Gummies Part 1: The History of Gummies

Where would we be without gummies? Gummies are a staple of the pick ‘n’ mix selection and one of the most important of the 5 candy food groups so we decided to dedicate 3 posts to the history of gummies and teach you some must-know facts about some of the most popular Gummies.

The first soft gummies were created in the 19th century by boiling sugar and fruit with Gummi arabicum (the resin of a type of acacia tree). Over time, the Gummi arabicum was replaced by gelatin to give gummies a softer consistency. It was then that the gummy we all know and love today was created.
