11th June 2012 - We would always like to indulge our sweet tooth and make life a little less stressful. It is this absolute need to de-stress and pamper ourselves occasionally that makes wholesale candy so popular and so much in demand. Candies are traditionally made from a concentrated solution of sugar in water. To this concoction, other ingredients like additional flavourings and artificial food colours are added. These flavourings might include fruit or vanilla essences, to make the whole experience of biting into a candy all the more rich, savoury and delicious. The sale of candies has always been steadily high. Be it kids or adults, people have always been enamoured by these sugary, syrupy delights that are slices of heaven for the tongue.
The word candy in English has been derived from a French word. Indeed the French are renowned all over the world for the excellent qualities of their confectionery products, including pastries and chocolate mousses. M&Ms are very popular almost all over the world for being such an enduring line of candy coated chocolates. People swear life-long allegiance to them. Other varieties of candy include lollipops, which are globules of sugar candy mounted on a stick and which have come to be the motif of childhood across almost all cultures and societies of the world.
Generally, sugar candies can be put into two categories. One includes crystalline candies and the other comprises of amorphous candies. The ones in the former category, are made of sugar molecules aligned in ordered rows within their chemical composition and are easy to bite into.
The latter category mostly consists of candies whose underlying crystalline structure is disorganised and these have higher sugar concentrations. Cream candies, fudge and fondant are examples of crystalline candies, while caramelised treats, nut brittles and toffees can be classified as amorphous candies.
Wholesale candy is a reminder of the fact that sometimes our cravings cannot be easily satisfied. Sometimes, we need just a little more, and we want another bite. There are companies that cater to a large consumer demographic and there are sweets that make our lives a little less harder.
