Tullettas

Tullettas are a type of confectionery, commonly known as candy or sweets, with a distinct chewy texture and typically a fruit flavor. They are often shaped as small, flattened discs or squares, though variations in form exist. The primary ingredients usually include sugar, corn syrup, and gelatin or pectin, which contribute to their characteristic chewiness and consistency. Flavorings and colorings are added to create a range of fruit profiles such as strawberry, lemon, or orange.

The origin and specific inventor of tullettas are not widely documented, making their exact historical genesis difficult to pinpoint. However, they belong to a broad category of chewy candies that have been popular for decades across many cultures. Their production involves heating the ingredients to a specific temperature, followed by mixing, flavoring, coloring, and then forming them into their final shapes.

Tullettas are generally sold in pre-packaged bags or containers and are a common item found in candy stores, supermarkets, and convenience stores. They are enjoyed by people of all ages as a sweet treat. The nutritional profile of tullettas is largely composed of carbohydrates, primarily from sugars, and they offer little in the way of significant vitamins or minerals. Like many candies, they are best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
