Tutti frutti
Tutti frutti is a candied fruit made from raw papaya. Papaya is chopped into small cubes, sweetened, colored, and dried to get Tutti Frutti. It is a very popular ingredient for baking, ice creams, and many confectioneries.
Instead of papaya these days we also watermelon rind. Also, there are natural coloring agents rather than the artificial ones
