When is it handy to take these sweets with you?

A boiled sweet is convenient because it needs no preparation: you can take it on a journey, put it in your pocket or bag and have one at any moment. This kind of product is chosen especially often in the season of damp, cold weather — the combination of ginger, cinnamon and chilli creates a pronounced warming sensation in the mouth and throat.

People also take them to work or to classes — when they need to switch focus quickly, freshen the mouth or feel a small boost of energy in the middle of the day. The spicy taste with a long aftertaste makes them noticeably different from standard fruit sweets.

It is important to remember that this is a confectionery product, not a medicine, and not a substitute for a complete diet. If you have chronic conditions or an intolerance to spicy foods, or take medicines, it is worth consulting a specialist before eating them regularly.
