In the almost-forgotten neighborhood of Kips Bay, Manhattan exists one of the finest global food markets in New York City. Kalustyan's has represented India and the Mideast's infinite supply of exciting foods, spices, herbs and teas since 1944. It is a glorious store that houses hundreds of interesting items from Ceylon tea to Sumac to suit all your culinary exploration needs. I go there all the time to smell and feel my way to tonight's dinner. Though I will be writing many in-depth posts about the Kalustyan foods that shape my palate, theses little mango suckers caught my eye an ear. 

As the mayor of Honesty Town, I will tell you that at my last visit, I was fighting a cold and had a terribly irritated throat. As I eyed down this clear bag of green candies, a store employee told me that these candies are pure magic for an upset throat and stomach. In the market for some relief, I snagged them up and popped one in my mouth. These Hajmola candies are traditional hard candies flavored with raw mango juice and a bunch of special ayurvedic herbs. And that is exactly what they taste like; sweet, tangy, and herbaceous little mango suckers. Due to the power of the herbs, Kachha Aam Hajmola Candies aid digestion, settle stomachs, and even strengthen your appetite. I of course, put these guys to the test and I will say they make me feel a little better after a big meal. They even make a sore throat slightly less sore too. But I think that I'll stick to Cepacol and Pepto Bismol for the bigger aches. For now, Hajmola Candies by Parle out of Mumbai hit it on the head with this candy. It's a rather complicated candy, beginning with the sweet tanginess of mango but then dives deeper with bright and clean flavors of a complex herbal combo. These are a new go-to candy. Now what else to get at Kalustyan's?
