What is Floss Candy?
Floss Candy Floss is the same as cotton candy. Both names are received from the original name, Fairy Floss. Two Nashville, Tennessee Candy Makers dubbed this light as air and super sweet confectionery of fairy -tale thread in 1897. They created an electric machine that would produce writing sugar, and sold this confectionery at the St. Louis in 1904, where it was extremely popular. Usually the candy contains only two ingredients, sugar and food dye. The small bowl in the center of the machine warms the sugar and then pushes it with small holes, where it spins like a thread or fine strands, into a large circular bowl surrounding the heated bowl.
People who make floss use sticks, usually white cardboard to collect a cloud of thread. If it is not served immediately, cotton candy is usually packed in plastic bags, so they retain their Textre, and does not have amazing shelf life, because many who buy candies at the fair and save it for several days. Within a few days inThe appetizes are aggravated, and if the moisture touches confectionery for cotton, the effect is reinforced. It clumps together and no longer has a pleasant airy texture freshly spinned with thread.
Floss Candy Floss remains popular, especially at local fairs, circuses and entertainment parks. It is usually produced in pink or light blue, which is basically its "flavor". Technically, most candies do not have additional flavors added and the flavors are usually "pink" or "blue". The prevailing taste is sweet sugar, because the cotton candy is almost completely sugar and just added a small dye.
Despite the high sugar content, floss candies, especially in medium quantities, are not so high in calories. The typical portion has about 100 calories, less than 12-unnecessary (0.35 liters) portion of most soda. Food is still clean sugar and larger portions, bring higher calories. Due to his components, cotton candies would have a consultantWashing rarely, especially because if you are on the park of a fair or amusement park, it is unlikely that you will have time to brush your teeth after eating.
There are also some concerns about the dye commonly used to produce a pink variety. It is an artificial color called Tartrazine, which in a 2008 study conducted by a research team at Southampton University in England, had potentially dangerous effects on children. According to this study, tartrazine may reduce intelligence and create a greater risk of hyperactivity, but the effects are not fully understood because some children seemed to affect more than others.
The amount of tartrazine in cotton confectionery is negligible and most people regularly do not consume candy of cotton regularly. It is usually once in a while. If you are uncomfortable coloring of food, you may want to try a blue variety because this dye has not been associated with behavior or potential health risks.
