Black jelly beans, a health risk?

By Karen L. Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU Healthwise Team 

Easter baskets and candy will be here soon. The top three best selling Easter candies are Reese’s Milk Chocolate and Peanut Butter Egg, Kinder Joy Egg, and jelly beans. Besides the sugar and calorie content of these treats, what other dangers can lurk?

A bag of jelly beans is a wonderful array of colors, but the black jelly beans are often ignored. Why?

According to a recently released poll of the most disliked foods by Americans, black licorice is ranked number 2 with 45% indicating a dislike for the candy. This is followed by the number one disliked food of anchovies at 50%. Oysters, beets and blue cheese rounded out the top 5. 

This may help to explain why black jelly beans containing licorice are left for last! However, some individuals prefer the black jelly beans and you can buy whole bags of just that color.
