Ube and Jackfruit Candies from Annie's are an authentic delicacy straight from the Philippines. This dessert is based on a traditional Filipino recipe, often found under the name *pastillas de leche*, enriched with the characteristic flavours of the region. The main ingredients of these sweets are refined sugar and powdered milk, which give them an exceptionally creamy and smooth texture that melts in the mouth.

Crucial to the flavour are two exotic ingredients: Ube purée and Langka (jackfruit) purée. Ube, or purple yam, is the base of many Filipino desserts. It is characterized by a slightly nutty, vanilla flavour with an earthy hint, as well as a naturally intense purple colour, which is the hallmark of this treat. In turn, jackfruit (Langka) brings a deep, tropical aroma to the composition, reminiscent of a combination of pineapple, mango, and banana, adding fruity freshness to the sweetness.

Annie's, a Filipino manufacturer known for high-quality sweets, ensures that the candies convey the full authenticity of Asian flavour. It should be noted, however, that the product contains a preservative (potassium sorbate) and artificial food colours (including tartrazine, sunset yellow, amaranth red, and brilliant blue FCF), which enhance the attractive colour. The high sugar content (83 g per 100 g of product) makes it a sweet and energizing addition, ideal for quickly satisfying a sweet craving. These are completely fat-free candies, which is a characteristic feature of this type of dessert.

Annie's Candies are an excellent choice for those who want to try a classic of Filipino cuisine. They are great as a treat, an accompaniment to coffee or tea, or simply as a small, exotic snack during the day. The flavour of Jackfruit and Ube is appreciated worldwide, and this product provides a convenient way to experience these tropical notes.
