What it is
Jelly beans in unusual flavour combinations and bright colours, with a hard shell and a chewy centre.
Taste
Where it comes from
Jelly beans combine Turkish delight centres with the panning technique used for sugared almonds, and have been made since at least the 1860s. Novelty flavour ranges came much later, driven by the gourmet bean market in America from the 1970s onwards.
What it's made of
A starch jelly centre is dried, then panned with sugar syrup in a revolving drum until a shell forms, then polished with shellac, beeswax and carnauba wax.
