Plums grow abundantly in Taiwan and come in more than 70 varieties. They’re available seasonally from May to August, but preserving the fruit allows it to be enjoyed year-round. While you may be familiar with jams and jellies, smoked plums are a common type of preserved fruit found in Taiwan, where they were historically smoked in special huts. These smoked-plum- flavored hard candies are sweet, sour, and slightly smoky, reflecting a beloved flavor of traditional Taiwanese cuisine. Some say the flavor almost tastes barbecue-y!
Ingredients: Sugar, Maltose, Malic Acid, Artificial Flavors, Sodium Citrate, Caramel Color.
“The taste is awful. It’s bitter” ? Woman, did you tried the same candy??? Your review is simply a lie. These candies are heaven, wonderful taste of smoked plum with a balanced level of sweetness….
I absolutely loved these! The sour plum and deep smoky flavor together is like nothing I’ve ever tried before- mouth-watering and difficult to share 🙂
The taste was awful. It’s bitter. The smokey flavor was overwhelming
