Pulparindo facts for kids
Pulparindo is a super popular candy from Mexico. It's made by a company called de la Rosa. This candy is special because it uses the pulp from the tamarind fruit. It's flavored with sugar, salt, and chili peppers. This mix gives Pulparindo a unique taste that's tart, sweet, salty, and spicy all at once! There's even an "extra picante" (extra spicy) version for those who like a real kick.
What Flavors Does Pulparindo Have?
Pulparindo comes in a few exciting flavors. The original flavor is made from tamarind, which is the classic taste. You can also find it in yummy mango and refreshing watermelon flavors. Each one still has that special sweet, sour, and spicy kick!
Is Pulparindo Safe to Eat?
Back in 2007, some people had questions about a very small amount of a certain substance found in the "Extra Hot" Pulparindo candy. This was tested by health experts in California. They wanted to make sure all candy was super safe for everyone, especially for young kids who might eat a lot of it.
After more careful tests, it was confirmed that the amount of this substance was very, very tiny and well within safe limits. So, by December 2007, the "Extra Hot" Pulparindo was allowed to be sold again in California. This means that Pulparindo candy, especially those made after June 2009, is safe to enjoy!
