Gränna is a locality in Jönköping Municipality, Jönköping County, Sweden with 2,665 inhabitants

Polkagris is a Swedish stick candy that was invented in 1859 by Amalia Eriksson in the town of Gränna, Sweden. It remains a well-known albeit old-fashioned candy in Sweden, often sold at fairs, Christmas markets, and the like. It is still closely associated with Gränna.[1] The traditional polkagris candy stick is white and red, and is peppermint-flavoured.
Genuine Polkagris has had a protected geographical indication since 21 July 2022 by EU and Livsmedelverket, which must therefore be manufactured in Gränna to be called genuine Polkagris.
