Do you remember walking out of school with your friends and walking straight to the “uncle” standing a few feet away with a cartful of ber, fresh green sprigs of plump saunf sticking up from a tall aluminum container, glistening starfruit, lovely dull brown tubes of imli, green guavas and large raw mangoes all waiting to be scooped up? The end of the school day was complete no matter how badly it went, if we shared a pudika of chatpata ber with our bestie. Those were the days.
Cut to now where you rarely see these carts and even if you do it’s not much fun if you don’t have someone to share it with. Not to mention we’re so conscious of how hygienic everything would be that we’d rather skip enjoying a trip back to our childhood than risk the trots.
If you still want to hark back to the days where you enjoyed teeth-tingling, mouth-puckering little bits of delight, you should most certainly try out Go Desi’s range of DESi POPz. Tamarind, guava, raw mango, mango, jamun, filter coffee and lime flavoured little lollipop shaped treats promise you a pretty explosive experience.
Tangy Imli feels like a salted little ball of sweet tamarind plopped onto a tiny ice cream stick and you have to struggle to stop at one. Your teeth will protest, your eyes will twitch, but you just won’t want to stop.
Chilli Guava is slightly chewy with little bits of guava hiding in there somewhere. At first you won’t know it, but it gets progressively spicier and oh when it hits, it hits.
The Real Aam and Kachcha Aam POPz are quite like aam papad that’s more readily available locally.
The best part about DESi POPz is that no refined sugar has been added to any of the products. It’s made with jaggery and Indian spices.
If there’s one thing you need to add to your shopping list right now, it’s Go Desi’s DESi POPz. You won’t regret it.
