Go Desi Popz Candy – Detailed Review
The following section details our experience with these lollipops.
1. Imli
Price & Packaging
The lollipops are individually wrapped in a transparent pack and tied with a pink thread. These are then placed inside a non-resealable pouch. There were four pieces inside the pack. It is priced at Rs 20/- and has a shelf life of 15 months.
Main Ingredients
Jaggery, tamarind, edible salt, cumin powder, curry leaves powder, chilli powder, refined sunflower oil, stabilizer (INS 414).
As claimed, these are devoid of refined sugar and preservatives.
Taste & Texture
Before we dive into the tasting, we’d like to highlight that the wooden sticks were quite sturdy and the Popz had stuck well to it.
The Popz had a soft, chewy bite. The bite had some tamarind threads that added a unique texture. It had the typical stickiness that imli candies usually do. Taste-wise, this was tangy with a bold spice. The earthy warmth of cumin was popping through and the subtle sweetness tied all flavors together.
- This is a refined sugar-free fix for sweet tooth.
- It is devoid of preservatives.
- The packaging is top-notch.
- We LOVED the flavor profile.
- The texture was quite good.
If your sweet tooth is asking for something different than a bar of chocolate, we’d recommend trying Go Desi Popz Candy in Imli.
2. Aam
Price & Packaging
The price, packaging, and shelf life are the same as above.
Main Ingredients
Jaggery, mango powder, raisins, amchur powder, black salt, refined sunflower oil, citric acid (INS 330), chilli powder, turmeric.
This also contains added nature identical flavor- ripe mango.
Taste & Texture
Soft, chewy, with a slight stickiness but lickable- this best describes the texture of Go Desi Popz. Flavor-wise, the fruity flavor of a natural, ripe mango was prominent. Additionally, there was also a spicy, zingy flavor which was balanced by the sweetness of jaggery. The chilli heat hit us with sweet and tangy flavors.
All-in-all, this was a burst of flavors.
- Good quality material has been used.
