Swedish berries

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Swedish Berries are a type of candy that originated in Sweden. They are small, soft, and chewy candies that are shaped like small berries. They are typically red in color and have a sweet, fruity flavor.

History[edit | edit source]

Swedish Berries were first introduced in Sweden in the early 20th century. They were originally made by the Malaco company, which is a Swedish confectionery company that has been in operation since 1934. The candies quickly became popular in Sweden and eventually spread to other parts of the world.

Production[edit | edit source]

Swedish Berries are made using a process called starch molding. This involves creating a starch mold of the desired shape, then filling the mold with a hot, liquid candy mixture. The mixture is then allowed to cool and harden before being removed from the mold. The candies are then coated with a thin layer of wax to give them a shiny appearance and to prevent them from sticking together.

Flavor and Ingredients[edit | edit source]

The primary flavor of Swedish Berries is raspberry, although they can also be found in other fruit flavors such as strawberry and blackberry. The candies are made with a variety of ingredients, including sugar, corn syrup, and natural and artificial flavors. They are also typically colored with red food dye.

Popularity[edit | edit source]

Swedish Berries have become popular worldwide, particularly in North America. They are often found in movie theaters and are a popular choice for Halloween candy. They are also commonly used as a topping for desserts such as ice cream and cupcakes.
