Spinach and Nettle Candy?!?!

I discovered Haribo gummies when I was studying in England. We can get some of them in the U.S. but not nearly as many of the crazy mixes and flavors as in Europe. Vladimyr found a mix that looked pretty good. The pieces were half gummy, half marshmallow with a jelly type filling.


Here is a close-up of the pieces


As I was eating them, I was reading the package which says "Mit 35% Frucht in der Fuelling" (with 35% fruit in the filling) so I was curious what fruits were actually in it.

Here are the ingredients (emphasis mine):
Glucose syrup, sugar, gelling agent (gelatine),Fruit and Plant Concentrates: Raspberry, Mango, Orange, Carrot, Nettle, Spinach, Hibiscus, Lemon, Safflower; citric acid, lactic acid, flavorings, white and yellow beeswax, carnauba wax, carrageenan, vitamin e, sodium citrate and invert sugar syrup.

After reading that, some how, the green pieces didn't seem so appetizing.
