FIRE CRACKERS

Origin and Legacy

Kovilpatti Kadalai Mittai, a delectable peanut candy, has a rich heritage spanning over half a century. Its roots trace back to traditional practices during village festivals, where it was crafted using locally sourced ingredients like palm jaggery and groundnuts. The transition to sugarcane jaggery in the 1940s marked a significant milestone, with Ponnambalanar pioneering this shift in Kovilpatti. Over time, the meticulous maintenance of quality, coupled with the use of Theni jaggery, contributed to the product's widespread acclaim. J EXIM INTERNATIONAL proudly stands as a deemed exporter, carrying forward this legacy with a commitment to quality and authenticity.
