JELLY BEANS, AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL Jelly candies of one kind or another have been around for thousands of years. "Turkish delight" a citrus, honey and rosewater jell, has been putting smiles on kids' faces since biblical times. When the penny candy craze came along in America during the late 1800's, candy makers began experimenting with tricky sugar candies, like gumdrops, jelly beans and jawbreakers. The jelly candy inspired by Turkish delight was shaped into a bean and given a shell using a French process called "panning". The first jelly bean was created by an American candymaker whose name has since been lost in time.THE BIRTH OF THE MOST FAMOUS JELLY BEAN....The idea was born in Los Angeles, the first Jelly Belly flavors were Very Cherry, Lemon, Cream Soda, Tangerine, Green Apple, Root Beer, Grape and Licorice.
