Gummy Candy

Gummy candy is a soft, chewy sweet made from sugar and a gelling agent, usually shaped into small pieces and flavoured with fruit flavours. It is a familiar treat for children and adults alike, enjoyed as a snack on its own, shared in a bowl when guests visit, packed into lunch boxes, or used to decorate cakes and party tables. At Dekenet Al Nes in Baaqline, in the Chouf, gummy candy is on the shelf in the confectionery section and is sold by the kilo, so you can take just the amount you need. Dekenet Al Nes is a package-free grocery store, and customers are encouraged to bring their own jars, boxes or bags to fill, which helps cut down on plastic waste and single-use packaging.
