De la Rosa Pulparindo Mango

What does summer taste like? At De la Rosa, it carries the sweet taste of juicy mangoes, accented by the tartness of tamarind, and the bright shock of some spicy chili. Most candy doesn’t often offer sweet, sour, salty, and spicy—but that’s why we love this mango Pulparindo so much. Many Mexicans have fond, nostalgic memories of buying ‘Tamarindo Cups’ after-school and enjoying them at home, and this candy, perfect for sucking on for its tart flavor, reminds them of those sun-soaked afternoons. Of course, the sweetness of mangoes doesn’t seem like it would fit tart, spicy, savory profiles… and yet mango habanero hot sauce exists!
