We make the candy we used to steal.

SanomayaLoves Yaya’s fruit chews.
A roof. A tray. A missing piece of lapsi.
We are a Nepali family in California.
Titaura was the candy around us growing up: fruit cooked down with chilli, salt and sugar, then spread onto woven trays to dry in the sun. We were always reaching for a piece before it was ready.
We’re bringing that same bright, mouth-watering tangy candy to our community in California.
For our fruit chews, we use locally sourced California fruit whenever we can, working with farms here to make different flavors throughout the year.
And for lapsi, the fruit that started it all, we source directly from smallholder farmers in Nepal.
