Akono Ginger Candy 125g – Spicy Ginger Sweets

Akono ginger candy is the hard ginger sweet a lot of us remember from home: sugary at first, then a real ginger heat that builds as it melts. Each piece is individually wrapped, so a 125 g bag lives happily in your handbag, desk drawer or car.

Why people love it

• Proper ginger kick – sweet and spicy, not a mild "ginger-flavored" candy
• A travel favourite – many people reach for a ginger candy on long trips or on queasy days
• Individually wrapped pieces, easy to share
• 125 g bag – a good size for home or the office
• Great for guests – put out a bowl at parties and family visits

How to enjoy it

• Unwrap and let it melt slowly – don't chew, it's a hard candy.
• Drop one into a cup of hot tea for a gingery sweetener.
• Keep the bag closed and somewhere cool so the candies don't get sticky.
