Aprati Foods is a new brand of hard candies from American Licorice Co. that takes inspiration from Cambodia—with locally inspired flavors and sustainably sourced ingredients from the region. While the fruit-flavored Frutati candies are offered in mixed bags containing blueberry yuzu, pineapple passionfruit and green apple mango flavors, the cafe-inspired Mocati candies boast creamy caramel macchiato, espresso and refreshing mocha mint flavors.
According to American Licorice Co., "These hard candies introduce flavor profiles that are a blend of multi-cultural influences coming together through exotic Asian-inspired flavors, paired with sweet North American flavors."
The individually wrapped candies are Non-GMO Project verified, as well as free from artificial colors. Those who are mindful about the amount of sugar they consume will also appreciate that the hard candies contain less than two grams of sugar per piece.
