Guys, that’s for 100g (around 3.5 ounces) — the standard benchmark amount for comparing nutritional information.
But how much is an actual serving?
What is a serving size of Haribo gummies?
According to the package a serving size is approximately un pequeño puñado, Spanish for a small handful.
But if you’re like me, you’re instantly thinking “Okay, but everyone’s hand is a different size…”
And then you’re thinking “Okay, maybe that still makes sense after all because a serving for a little kid should definitely be smaller than the serving for a grown up and a little kid’s hand is a lot smaller than an adults, so… that tracks”
But now are you also wondering just like.. what is a reasonable serving size for an adult? lol
If you are, then just know that the nutrition information defines a portion (serving) as 25g.
The end. Mystery solved.
Nutrition Information Per 25g Serving
So the package now does an interesting thing and switches from the value in grams to the percentage of your daily recommended values. The facts are as follows:
- 4% Calories
- <1% Fat
- <1% Saturated Fat
- 8% Carbohydrates
- 18% from Sugars
- 2% Protein

The package contains 12 servings.
Haribo Tropifruitti Flavors
There are 6 named flavors:
- Piña – Pineapple
- Granada – Pomegranate
- Mango Mandarina – Mango Mandarin
- Fruta de la Pasión – Passionfruit
- Plátano – Banana
- Sandía – Watermelom
The gummies are shaped somewhat like you would imagine based on their flavors.
There is a pomegranate, a clementine slice, a banana, a pineapple, I guess maybe the purple one is the passion fruit, and then weirdly a palm tree and a toucan.
Which I get it, it’s tropical fruits, and they have the toucan on the bag and everything, it just took a turn from the shapes matching the flavors.
Our Review — Worth Buying?
Honestly, these were not our favorite gummy candies.
We thought they were okay. It’s always fun to make a game of trying to identify the flavors.
The texture was resembling fruit snacks with a squishy but not at all liquid inside, which I like.
But overall we were not largely impressed with the actual flavors, especially for the Haribo hype.
With that in mind…
Would we rebuy Haribo Tropifrutti gummy candy again? Probably not. So many other kinds to try that might actually knock our socks off, why waste time with mediocre flavors and inconsistent shapes. =)
Rating: 2/4 – It’s okay, probably won’t rebuy though
They do get a 4.6/5 star review on Amazon, though. So don’t take our word for it.
Feel free to give them a try and let us know if you’re a fan!
We bought these at a grocery store in Portugal, but you can order them below:
