Jelly Belly Introduces Sport Beans

Sport Beans, which were first introduced in June of 2005, provide atheletes with a burst of energy during long distance exercise. In each one-ounce serving, there is 25 grams of carbohydrates, 20% of your daily Vitamin C and E, and 120mg of electrolytes for an energy boost. Below is a quote from the Sport Bean press release

“Today’s active adults and teens are exercising harder than ever, and are looking for optimal performance at play and in competition. We’ve heard from marathon athletes for years about how they use Jelly Belly beans for the carbohydrates they need to sustain energy and finish a race, so we developed a fun carb source with additional nutrients the body needs during strenuous exercise,” said Pete Healy, vice president of marketing for Jelly Belly Candy Company.
