Jelly Beans

Jelly Beans are a type of candy that are small, oblong-shaped pieces of sugar-coated bean-shaped confectionery. They come in a variety of colors and flavors, such as strawberry, licorice, and blueberry, and are often served around Easter. Despite their popularity, they are not particularly nutritious and are often referred to as “empty calories,” as they contain no real nutritional value. Around 16 billion jelly beans are made each year in the United States alone, with the most popular flavor being cherry. Fun fact: The most expensive jelly beans in the world are made with edible gold and silver and cost about $275 per pound.
