sweets for children

The shelves in more than one supermarket are full of sweets. Children are tempted with colorful packaging, often featuring a picture of their favorite fairy tale character. Despite growing consumer awareness, parents rarely check the composition of a particular product before purchasing it. You can currently find healthier alternatives to popular sweets, but you need to know where to look for them.


Composition of popular sweets

Popular and often loved by children, sweets are based on glucose-fructose syrup, less often sugar, artificial colors and preservatives. Lollipops and candies, without exception, have had the worst reputation for years, the consumption of which contains no nutrients and is only associated with a risk of tooth decay in small children. The situation is similar with jelly beans, which the child can eat a lot due to their small size. Some sweets, although they look healthy because they contain grains and honey, for example, are not healthy at all because they contain hydrogenated vegetable fats. In order to buy candy with a good composition, you really have to do some research. Store shelves labeled as “healthy food” or organic stores like ours help with this.
