How do they make the red skittle?

Answer 1

Red Skittles are primarily flavored with cherry, though some variations may include strawberry or other red fruit flavors. The process involves mixing sugar, corn syrup, and flavorings to create a chewy center, which is then coated with a colorful shell made from sugar and a food coloring agent. The iconic red color is typically achieved using artificial dyes, such as Red 40, or natural alternatives depending on the recipe. Once coated, the Skittles are dried and packaged for distribution.
