Today, my extended family sat around the table (after eating chicken and dumpling soup) and analyzed the flavors in a bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans, "The Original Gourmet Jelly Bean." If you haven't done this, I highly suggest it, because it's actually a lot of fun! It all started when my aunt tasted the BAD one.
We had a two pound bag, equipped with 49 flavors. And if you don't know this, jelly beans are actually a candy that are not all that bad for you: Serving Size 35 pieces, Servings per package 23, Calories per bean 4. Not that bad, right?
But I took in my fair share of calories as I tested each bean, comparing it to the flavor diagram on the back. Here is my family's report:
I say, if it is red or purple in any way, EAT IT! You'll love it! These are the flavors like Strawberry Cheesecake, Strawberry Daiquiri, Cotton Candy, Peach, and Plum. They are my signature flavors! So save these colors for me!
My one aunt loves the orange and yellow, fruits like Cantaloupe and Crushed Pineapple. My sister devours the Berry Blue. My dad says he always reaches for the greens like Watermelon, Green Apple, and Sunkist Lime. So there are many many great flavors to explore!
BUT there is one flavor we all agree on, a flavor we dislike, a flavor we just don't think should be put onto candy! According to my family, the WORST JELLY BELLY FLAVOR IS... Buttered Popcorn. Stay clear from this white and yellow speckled bean. According to my aunt, "It's nasty!"
But don't let my family be the judge! Get yourself a bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans and test them out for yourself! What is your signature flavor?
