5 Delicious Chamoy Candy Products. If you’ve never heard of chamoy, you’re missing out on a savory, salty, sweet, and spicy condiment that enhances the flavors of any dish you add it to. Chamoy is a spiced pickled sour fruit that comes in the form of a dried fruit topping, candy or sauce. Not only is it delicious, but some say that Chamoy encapsulates the flavors of Mexico with its salty-sweet spiciness! Made from lime juice, salt, and chilies mixed with either apricots, plums or mangos. Here are 5 delicious Chamoy candy products from L’Orenta Nuts.
Despite chamoy’s important place in Mexican cuisine, it’s actually an Asian- Mexican fusion food. Chamoy may have came from the Japanese food umeboshi, a type of pickled ume fruit, ume being a type of small, tart plum or apricot; or it might have developed from the Chinese dish see mui, which is Cantonese for a salted and dried apricot snack. Asian people had been migrating to Mexico since the 1590s, and chamoy evolved and developed into the staple spice blend and sauce valued by the people of Mexico today.
How is Chamoy used?
The most common use for chamoy is to flavor fresh fruits and
vegetables. Often it’s drizzled over slices of mango, pineapple, jicama, watermelon, and avocado. A favorite snack in Mexico is coating a whole apple in Chamoy sauce.
Chamoyada is a dessert that features shaved ice or sorbet with chunks of fruit and chamoy sauce.
Chamoy can also be used to bring a sweet spice to savory dishes as well and often it’s put on nachos, tacos, roasted vegetables, steak, and chili. The Mexican street food staple tostilocos uses chamoy to spice up a mixture of peanuts, jicama, cucumber, lime, and cueritos, or dried pig skin.
It is the fruit component that sets chamoy apart from other chili and lime-based condiments. It adds a deep sweetness that sauces and spice powders alone do not have.
