Sour sanding, or sour sugar, is a food ingredient that is used to impart a sour flavor to candy.

It is made from sugar along with citric acid, tartaric acid and malic acid.[1]

It is used to coat sour candies such as lemon drops and Sour Patch Kids, or to make hard candies taste tart, such as SweeTarts.[2]
