Fruit sours

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fruit sours is a confectionery that is normally sold in bulk. Each piece is spherical and about 15mm in diameter. They come in a variety of colors; typically red, orange, yellow, green, and purple. Fruit sours are comparable to jelly beans in texture, with a soft candy center and a glazed outer shell. They are also mildly tart and tangy in flavor. Gourmet varieties will have a more prominent fruit-flavoring added.

The listed ingredients of a fruit sour are: Sugar, Corn syrup, and modified food starch. They also contain small quantities of Citric acid, Fumaric acid, various flavorings and food colorings, Beeswax, Carnauba wax, and confectioner's glaze.
