Frankly speaking, I know chocolates are special but even the number onechocolate fanatic will agree with me that sometimes we get tired of eating chocolates and prefer other alternatives. This is where a jelly bean comes in handy, with so many flavours available it is fun to make "cocktails or recipes with them, children even have fun with them when decorating cakes so who can resist them?
A jelly bean is a candy which is usually small and made of 2 different layers. The outer shell is usually hard (candy-type) and then the chewy interior part which is gummy in nature and to my opinion the best part!
Jelly beans have been around for hundreds of years and they are known to have originated from ancient turkey. However it was not until the 17th century that jellybeans came into prominence in America. Jordan almond candies started producing jelly beans in the 17th century.
Jelly beans were widely used during the American civil war and its popularity has sky-rocketed in modern times to the extent that April 22nd has been named as the national jelly bean day (oh yeah!) and the candy has been used as an Easter candy since 1930 due to its resemblance to Easter eggs.
Now jelly beans can be found in so many places such as supermarkets, candy stores, coffee shops and even online retailers such as beancellars.co.uk who have personalized the jelly beans for all sorts of occasions in fact they say -why say it with a card when you can say it with a bean- well I say it's a lot tastier and the bottles they come in are keepsakes because of what is written on them I have ordered the largest bottle and now that it is empty I use it as a money box. trockener mund
Of course sugar is the main ingredient used in the manufacture of jelly beans and this accounts for its surprisingly sweet taste. Other ingredients used include starch, and corn syrup. Little amounts of emulsifying agent, anti-foaming agents and humanly edible wax such as beeswax are also added. Little amounts of salt are also added to enhance the taste.
There are so many jelly bean flavors with the numbers increasing by the day. however, there are about 8 standard flavors which are represented by 8 colors i.e. pink for raspberry, yellow for lemon, orange for orange, purple for grape, green for lime, red for strawberry, black for licorice, white for lemonade. Then there are the spiced flavors such as ginger, cinnamon, mint, etc are also available. Jelly beans are so popular even wizards have become fond of them. The Harry Potter series includes a product called -Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans- from which flavors such as vomit, pepper, earwax and dirt flavors have been released on the market.
Beancellars.co.uk have many wonderful flavors such as Fruit Cocktails, Tropical Bonanza, Mint Sorbet, Berry Burst and so much more so if you want some stylish candy for yourself or a loved one? Just go grab a jelly bean and I'm sure you will be glad you did.
