Introducing the Pygmy Family of Cycling Snacks for endurance and nutritional balance. Long hours in the saddle requires electrolyte replacement and balanced calories. Pygmy products provide a natural nutritional punch – and they’re fun to eat. Seriously.

- Real Food
- Pygmilicious

Riders have asked “Where can I buy Pygmy Scrots and other Pygmy produce?” Trader Joe’s carries pygmy produce.

Pygmy Puds (click here for a definition & guide to pronunciation)

These are the Medjool Pygmy Puds. The larger, more well endowed pygmy pud. Perfect complement to the famous pygmy scrot. Be sure to get pygmy puds without the pit.

Pygmyginas (alternate spelling: Pygmygina, Pygmigina, etc.)

And finally, the obscure object of [pygmy] desire; the pygmygina. Nothing like a dried up pygmygina to get the juices flowing. Be sure to drink lots of water when you’re munching on pygmyginas (dried apricot). Tart & pygmilicious. (alternate spelling: Pygmygina, Pygmygina)

Go ahead, do a Google search for pygmygina (click here for the search – it’s been done for you).
