jelly bean
Jelly beans are small bean-shaped sugar candies with soft candy shells and thick gel interiors. The confection comes in a wide variety of colors and flavors, and is primarily made of sugar.
==History==
The Turkish delight, a Turkish dessert made of soft jelly covered in confectioner's powder, was an early precursor to the jelly bean and inspired its gummy interior. However, it is generally thought that jelly beans first surfaced in 1861, when Boston confectioner William Schrafft urged people to send his jelly beans to soldiers during the American Civil War. It was not until July 5, 1905, that jelly beans were mentioned in the ''Chicago Daily News''. The advertisement publicised bulk jelly beans sold by volume for nine cents per pound, according to the book ''The Century in Food: America's Fads and Favorites''. Today, most historians contend that jellybeans were first linked with celebrations of Easter in the United States sometime in the 1930s for their egg-like shape.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=AT&T )〕 In politics, jelly beans earned fame as Ronald Reagan claimed them as his favorite treat.
National jelly bean day is on April 22.
