Xiamen's 0% Calorie Candies: A Sweet Trend from China

XIAMEN, China – A recent viral video highlights the growing trend of unique confectionery with a focus on health-conscious options. The video, shared by content creator Moehmilky, showcases '0% calorie' hard candies sourced from Xiamen, China. These distinctive sweets, presented in charming shapes such as a swan and a strawberry, are reportedly made from isomalt, a sugar substitute, and infused with various flavorings and aromatic ingredients. The creator demonstrated the unboxing of the strawberry-shaped candy, noting its appealing design. Upon tasting, the reviewer described the candy as having a 'sugary' taste, despite its 0% calorie claim, attributing this to the isomalt base. Stores selling these candies were reportedly widespread in Xiamen, indicating a local popularity for such novelty items. Consumers interested in trying these unique confections may find them available through online platforms like Taobao, in addition to physical stores in China.
