Lapsi Powder is made from the dried and ground Nepali hog plum — a small, intensely tart and fruity stone fruit native to Nepal that holds a beloved place in the country’s culinary and snack culture. The powder captures lapsi’s characteristic sweet-sour tanginess and is used to make traditional Nepali achar, as a souring and flavouring agent in chutneys, and as the base for the iconic lapsi candy that Nepali children grow up loving. The flavour is fruity, tangy, and uniquely Nepali — impossible to replicate with any other ingredient. For the diaspora in Canada, lapsi powder is a wonderful way to access this distinctive flavour and bring a true taste of Nepal’s snack tradition to your kitchen.
