Acid Gives Sour Snacks Their Tart Taste<\/h2>\n

According to Serious Eats, different acids give sour snacks their unique taste. But don\u2019t worry! These acids aren\u2019t dangerous to eat. There are actually many types of edible acids. For instance, citric acid comes from fruits. And lactic acid is derived from milk.<\/p>\n

Acetic acid gives chips their sour flavor. You\u2019ll often find this in salt and vinegar or dill-flavored chips. Want to see your Jackson vending machines with this tasty snack<\/a>? Contact Graham Snack Foods today! We carry a large selection of sour favorites and national brands.<\/p>\n

Sugar Plays a Role in Sour Treats<\/h2>\n

Many of us think sweet snacks are the opposite of sour ones. However, that\u2019s far from the case. Sweety Treaty says that sugar makes sour candy nicely sour. How? It balances the acid, making your favorite snacks even more delicious. Without sugar, these candies would be too bitter to enjoy. Sugar\u2019s sweetness helps strike the perfect balance.<\/p>\n

This can be seen in candies like Sour Skittles, gummies, and Sour Patch Kids. Sour drinks use sugar, too! Think lemon-lime sodas, like 7-Up and Sprite.<\/p>\n
