As the sugar molecules get smaller, they start to interact with the proteins in your saliva. This interaction between the carbohydrates and proteins is what gives jellybeans their characteristic chewy texture. In addition to sugar, jellybeans also contain something called pectin. Pectin is a type of fiber that helps to give jellybeans their shape. Pectin is also responsible for making jellybeans gummy when they're chewed. Toothpicks are made from a type of wood … [Read more...]
