They are best savored individually to appreciate the full flavor journey from sour to sweet.
How it differs from similar foods

They start with a sharp, puckering sourness that is intentionally more intense than the underlying fruit flavor. This contrast provides a more dynamic tasting experience, making them distinct from candies that are simply sweet or mildly tart.
