April 22 is a very important holiday – It’s National Jelly 1 Bean Day. Anyone who loves these delicious, flavoursome, colourful little sweets should treat themselves on this day. They should also check and make sure their family and friends are jelly bean freaks. But be careful, as we all know, jelly beans are addictive 2. There are many things you can do to celebrate besides eating jelly beans. Here are a few suggestions. Why not dress in the colours of your favourite jelly bean? You could have a jelly bean party and ask for friends to create their own special jelly bean dish. For real grown-ups, you could take part in a jelly bean quiz. The Internet is full of fascinating information on the history of and culture surrounding jelly beans.
Jelly beans are one of the oldest forms of candy we have. They date back to at least the mid-nineteenth century. Jelly bean historians 3 believe the jelly bean centre originated 4 from Turkish Delight, which comes from the Middle East. The gummy centre is made from sugar, corn syrup 5 and other ingredients to give them their fruity taste. Machines spray the insides with coloured sugar to give the beans their hard shells. Jelly beans today come in all kinds of different flavours, including spicy 6. You can even put different ones in your mouth to create new flavours. They are even popular with American presidents. Ronald Reagan supposedly kept a jar on his desk in the White House.
