Miinas

Miinas is a type of soft, chewy candy originating from Finland. These small, bite-sized confections are known for their fruit flavors and a slightly gummy texture. They are typically made with sugar, glucose syrup, starch, water, and flavorings, often incorporating fruit juices or purees for taste.

The candies are popular in Finland and are often found in supermarkets and convenience stores. Miinas come in a variety of fruit flavors, with common choices including strawberry, raspberry, lemon, and apple. Their mild sweetness and satisfying chew make them a popular treat for both children and adults.

The production of Miinas involves cooking a sugar and starch mixture, which is then cooled and shaped into small pieces. The addition of fruit flavorings during the process gives them their characteristic taste. While they are a simple confection, their consistent quality and appealing flavors have contributed to their enduring popularity in their home country. Miinas are generally considered an everyday treat, enjoyed as a small indulgence.
