Ginger Candy, 5.25 Ounce

First, I should say that I'm mostly a fan of crystallized (sugar-dried/cured) ginger, not ginger candies. This is the first, and as of this writing, only ginger candy I would care to eat. Why? It's sugar, ginger, and a bit of tapioca starch to prevent clumping, and you can TASTE that. The texture fantastic: chewy, but it softens quickly in the mouth so you won't lose fillings. Unlike any ginger candy I've had, this actually tastes like ginger, and not just any ginger, but really high quality ginger. There is pleasant heat to it, but it's not just sugar and blazing fire. To someone who eats crystallized ginger, this is a nice treat and you'll recognize the ginger immediately. For someone who is a fan of ginger snaps and bread, you'll enjoy this too without being blown away by heat or sweetness. What I think stands out above all, is that the taste evolves from an early soft heat, to a light ginger taste, into a deep ginger flavor that you only get from the best ginger snaps. The difference is that the taste keeps going, and the heat stays pleasant, never overwhelming. I LOVE this candy, and there is one other big deal for me; it eases nausea (motion sickness) like fresh ginger I've eaten. Whatever cooking goes into making this candy, the gingerol and other goodies that make ginger taste AND helpful are still there. I bought one bag here just to try... I'm buying the multi-pack next time, by which I mean today. One note: if you want a ginger FLAVORED candy without ginger's heat and full taste... this is not for you. If you hate any kind of heat then this is not for you, but it's not a punishing heat. If you enjoy a delicious mellow heat and the subtle flavor of the best ginger snaps that lasts a shockingly long time after the candy is gone, this IS for you. If you want something to give you that ginger experience, but you need to curb the amount of crystallized ginger you're eating (tasty, but it's high calorie) this is DEFINITELY for you!!! This is a deeply satisfying treat that I wouldn't replace having tried it. Really, I can't recommend this enough.

Great seller BTW! You get three 4.4 ounce packages of chewing joy for a very reasonable price. I’ve been eating Ting Ting brand ginger chews for many years. Recently it’s become hard to find locally so I ordered from Amazon. These chews have remained consistent in flavor, size, & general quality for as long as I’ve bought them, and every time I’ve tried a different brand I’ve been very disappointed. If you have a sore throat, upset tummy, or just want a refreshing treat, eat a chew or two. They are hot & spicy, so there’s no room for wimpy taste buds 😏

I guess you would have to, to buy this many! ;) I purchased this candy after my brother and sister-in-law brought a similar candy back from Indonesia as gifts for the family. I liked that candy so much that I searched for something similar on Amazon and found this. This candy, though the packaging is different, tastes exactly the same (and is actually made in Indonesia). It is hard to describe the texture...been thinking about it for a while, but I can't think of anything that has the same texture. The closest would be a jujube candy...it's chewy like them, but doesn't stick to your teeth quite as bad. I like to suck on them until they dissolve, but it's hard to make it through without chewing them. The taste is a very strong ginger flavor and they are almost hot (like cayenne pepper, but not quite that hot...definitely feel a "warming effect" in the mouth though). If you like ginger, and don't mind a little heat, you will love these. They are so addictive, and they almost seem to clear your sinuses a bit. Love 'em! :)

Great product! Quick shipping! I am told that a refund is being processed. Why? The delivery took place last Wednesday. The driver was professional and friendly. The product was well-packaged and in excellent condition. Tasty, too! I think this refund is a mistake. I can't keep the merchant's money under these circumstances. Do with it what needs to be done.

I love the taste and chewy texture of these candies! As other reviewers have said, watch your tooth fillings because they'll try to stick. I can't handle the heat of the actual candied ginger slices, so these candies are a nice, sweet toned down version. They seem to work for my anxiety and nausea, but I have to watch out not to eat too many at once, especially near bedtime: otherwise I get heartburn/reflux.

As you can see from others these are delicious and they have a good chewy consistency. I received mine from Amazon fulfillment and I think that's where the problem occurred. My chews are all melted (haven't opened every bag yet, but with 3 opened, every single candy has had the same problem, the candy is stuck to the wrapper. It takes some work, but yes, you can get it loose. I've had these from the store and no problem at all, candy was nice and loose in the pkg. This one is definitely not something you can open easily and pop the candy in your mouth - you have to work for it. so my down rating is really for distribution, not for the candy. AMAZON, TAKE NOTE!!!!!
