Jelly Bellies are a delight no matter what your taste! And why wouldn’t they be? Jelly Beans are all about fun, flavor, and delightful colors…and have been since the mid-1800s. The traditional Jelly Beans were larger than the well-known Jelly Belly, with a thicker body, and most of the flavor in the shell. These days, confectioners are getting wise to the importance of flavor and infusing flavor into the entire jellybean. As for the taste: old-time traditional fruit flavors with a crunchy-ish shell and decidedly soft interior. Uncomplicated. Delightful. Great for sharing and gift-giving.

Historical Insights
The jellybean won its most enduring acclaim around 1930 as an Easter candy. The reasons are not entirely clear – perhaps because Easter, as other spring-time rituals, is about rebirth, and the bean is an excellent symbol. Then came Jelly Belly!
The Jelly Belly version of the jellybean was revolutionized by candy distributor and entrepreneur, David Klein who came up with the concept of infusing the entire bean with flavor…. not just the shell as with traditional jellybeans. Later, as David was watching the TV show Stanford and Son, he thought the characters were talking about someone named “Jelly Belly.” They were really talking about “Lead Belly” – the legendary folk and blues musician.
Klein outsourced production to the Herman Goelitz Candy Company who developed his concept into a candy. Later, in a move that ended in a lengthy legal battle, the Goelitz family pushed Klein out, paying him a relatively small settlement.
Regardless, the jellybean entered a new and illustrious phase of life, making appearances everywhere, from movie theater concession stands to corner store displays. They showed up at a presidential inauguration in1981 and were the first candy to go on a space mission in 1983. Today, people eat 5 billion Jelly Bellies each year and, according to a company Website, produces 1,680 Jelly Belly beans per second.

A Dash of History, a Dab of Mayhem: The Story of Jelly Beans
Most people don’t consider jelly beans an ancient candy and, indeed, they belong in a time period unto themselves. Their history dates back a few thousand years to the venerable candy we call Turkish Delight. Flash forward and the Colonists were eating Turkish delight and, at last, in the 1800s, a Bostonian put a sugar shell on the delight to make…the Jelly Bean. What followed was the ubiquitous Jelly Bellies in over 100 flavors, made with a whiff of controversy and a dab of mayhem. Get the full story here.
