The natural sugars fructose and sucrose account for approximately 75 percent of the carbohydrates in apples. A large apple contains approximately 23 grams of sugar; a medium apple contains 19 grams. Although apples contain a significant amount of natural sugar, they are a low glycemic index food.
History of Cotton Candy. Originally called Fairy Floss, the process of making Cotton Candy was invented by four men: Thomas Patton, Josef Delarose Lascaux, John C. Wharton, and William Morrison.
The authors say there was a jar of the candies on the counter that were made in 1830.2 The Gibralter, according to the company, is the first commercially made candy in the United States. Black Straps, the first candy made from Blackstrap Molasses (according to the co.) is also one of their original products. I highly doubt this statement to be true. Making candy with molasses is not exactly an original idea.
