Rowntrees Fruit Pastilles Roll 48g

Rowntree’s Fruit Pastilles

Rowntree’s Fruit Pastilles are chewy fruit sweets with a sugar coated outside and plenty of fruity flavor in every piece. Each roll brings together the familiar mix of blackcurrant, lemon, strawberry, lime and orange, so you can work your way through several flavors without opening a whole bag of sweets. Rowntree’s first introduced Fruit Pastilles in 1881, which means they have been around long enough for several generations to have a favorite color and a firm opinion about which one should come next. The texture is part of what makes them so recognizable. They are soft enough to chew comfortably but still have enough bite to make each sweet last a little longer than something that simply disappears. The sugary coating adds a little crunch at the start before the chewy center takes over. Current Fruit Pastilles are made with concentrated fruit juices including apple, blackcurrant, strawberry, orange, lemon and lime, along with plant and vegetable concentrates for color. They also contain no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. The 48g roll is a simple size for keeping in a pocket, lunchbox or desk drawer when you want something sweet without carrying around a large sharing bag.

The roll format also makes Fruit Pastilles particularly good for road trips, movie snacks and those afternoons when a little sugar sounds like a reasonable plan. Tear the wrapper open, take one at a time and keep going until you either decide to stop or discover the roll has somehow disappeared. The mix of flavors keeps things interesting, especially when everyone seems to have a different favorite. Blackcurrant brings the deeper fruit taste, lemon and lime add some sharpness, while strawberry and orange keep things sweeter. Rowntree’s has also kept the sweets focused on that fruity chew rather than loading them up with fillings or coatings beyond the sugar on the outside. Nestlé describes Fruit Pastilles as a long running favorite built around that chewy fruit texture, and the modern recipe was developed to keep the same familiar character while making the sweets slightly softer. At 48g, the roll is easy to take along without much planning. Toss one into the car, add it to a lunchbox or keep it nearby for the next sweet craving. No bowl required, which also means fewer people asking for some.
