Jordan almonds

Pastel coated nuts

Jordan almonds are candy-coated almonds with a hard sugar shell, traditionally in pastel colors.

They appear at weddings and celebrations, often bundled in groups of five to symbolize health, wealth, happiness, longevity, and fertility.

The name has nothing to do with the country—it likely derives from a French word for garden.
