OPENING UP A BOX OF DELIGHTS FROM ROSE LOS ANGELES IS AN evocative experience. A pleasingly textured paper exterior, embossed and foiled, gently slides open to reveal a square of 20 perfectly powdered little cubes of Turkish delight-inspired, rosin-infused edibles. The ingredient list for the various flavors of Delights is thrilling: recent offerings include black sesame pineapple, pear kimchi, and the mysterious Delights Club No. 2: Queens, hallabong chrysanthemum (made with tangelos, fresh chrysanthemum greens, and honey-sweetened hallabong vinegar). Every edition of these treats is made with single-strain flower rosin, making them all the more delectable, and collectible.
