Cool Beans
Add jelly beans to the list of fun ways to get your CBD.
David Klein, who invented Jelly Bellys in the 1970s, has
created jelly beans that each contain 10 milligrams of
the popular cannabis compound; they’re sold by his new
company, Spectrum Confections. The FDA still does not
consider CBD safe (in fact, it’s technically illegal in food and
drink), but the products keep coming. Look for CBD-infused
energy drinks, macaroni and cheese, and cold brew this
year, and maybe even a Ben & Jerry’s pint. The company
says it’ll consider adding an ice cream with CBD to its lineup
as soon as the stuff is approved at the federal level.APRIL 2020 ●FOOD NETWORK MAGAZINE 19
