What is Haribo?
Haribo is a German confectionery brand best known for its small, bear-shaped gummy sweets. Its range includes brightly coloured, fruit-flavoured chewy candies, with ingredients and shapes varying between products and markets.
The glossy, springy sweets are usually eaten by the handful as an occasional treat, shared at home, on journeys or at the cinema. They taste distinctly sweet, and a 40 g serving provides much of its energy from carbohydrates. Haribo is best enjoyed in a modest portion rather than as a filling snack; pair it with fresh fruit or have it after a meal if you want something sweet without making candy the main part of your snack.
