Pelon Pelo Rico Tamarind Candy 28g | YEG Exotic – Mexican Classic

If you’re searching for something sweet, tangy, and totally unique, Pelon Pelo Rico Tamarind Squeeze Candy (28g) is here to shake up your snack game. Straight from Mexico, this playful treat is unlike any candy you’ve had before. Instead of a bar or bag of gummies, you get a soft, squeezable tamarind candy that pushes out in fun little strands, almost like candy “hair.” It’s interactive, delicious, and packed with bold flavour.

What Makes Pelon Pelo Rico Special?

Pelon Pelo Rico isn’t your typical candy. Made with real tamarind pulp, it delivers a sweet, sour, and slightly spicy kick that’s beloved in Mexican candy culture. Tamarind is a tropical fruit that brings a natural tang, and when blended with sugar and seasoning, it creates that addictive sweet-and-sour balance fans can’t get enough of.

The candy comes in a squeeze bottle that’s just as fun as the flavour itself. With a simple push, the tamarind paste pops out in noodle-like strands, ready to eat right away. Kids love it, adults love it—it’s both a nostalgic treat for many and an exciting discovery for newcomers.

Flavour Experience

Sweet – A candy at its core, Pelon Pelo Rico has that sugary goodness.
Tangy – The tamarind fruit adds a refreshing sour twist.
Mildly Spicy – Some batches carry a tiny hint of chili seasoning, giving it that authentic Mexican flair.

It’s more than just a sweet—it’s an experience of flavour layering that makes it stand out from standard candy options.
