Traditional 1800s Jelly Beans

Traditional 1800s Jelly Beans

Size

Jellybeans are a delight no matter what time of year! Jelly Beans have been around since the mid-1800s. Part of our 1800s candy collection, traditional Jelly Beans were larger than the well-known Jelly Belly, with a thicker body, and most of the flavor in the shell. As for the taste: old-time traditional fruit flavors with a crunchy-ish shell and decidedly soft interior. Uncomplicated. Delightful. Believe it or not - Part of Civil War era candy.in our Civil War candy box. Great for sharing and gift-giving.

The Unexpected Origins 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 the Turkish delight and, at last, in the 1800s, a Bostonian put a sugar shell on the delight to make…the Jelly Bean. What happened next is a treat in itself!
