    Hi Friends,

    Does anyone know where we can get Tutti-Frutti pieces in the USA that is most commonly used in baking cakes etc? I could not find anywhere not even in Indian Stores here.

    Appreciate your replies.

    HI Jaya,

    I saw this product many times in Patel.

    In Edison patel it was near counter hanging in the small packets near counter section. Not sure abt price, but it was little pricey when compare to India.

    Jaya;
    Indian stores:)
    I saw it in sabzi mandi. At that time I didn't buy. The next time when I went it was not in stock. So it maybe the same in your area too. It will be near dry fruits section.
    Otherwise you can buy sunmaid's fruit bits. Though not same; it is ok; if you are using for baking. That you can get in American grocery

    The American version of tutti-fruitti is mixed candied fruit. It is a seasonal item for holiday baking in the fall and it comes in mixed, or you can get tubs of candied cherries (red or green color same taste), candied pineapple pieces, and citron alone. Grocery stores and Walmart will have it (Walmart usually has a holiday season baking display) and this will be available in late Sept or Oct through New Years. If you wish to have it year round then stock up and store in the fridge.

    Hey Tina,

    Yeah I saw the candied version of the fruit bits that you were talking about just yesterday at an American grocery store but they were rather larger in size than the tutti frutti. But I doubt it will be the same taste as Tutti frutti.
