In case you were wondering gummies or jelly sweets are a broad, general type of Gelatin-based Chewy Candy along with mixture of sugar, glucose syrup, starch, flavouring, food colouring, citric acid.
GELATIN is a translucent, colorless, odorless, and nearly tasteless substance that is made by prolonged boiling of skin, cartilage and bones from animals. It's made primarily from the stuff meat industries have left over - we're talking about pork skins and cattle bones. Yummy!! (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin)
If this is news to you, it may shed new light on your Great Aunt's Jell-O mold or Gummy Bear and Candies. And if you love eating chewy candy, you may think twice before chowing down on those gummy worms.
