DRAGEE ALMONDS
CF007
For traditional and meaningful sweets, our Silver or Gold Dragee Almonds are the epitome of the union of sweetness and bitterness representing marriage.
"Dragee" is a French word pronounced "draa-jey". Usually five sugared almonds per box, each one symbolizing health, wealth, longevity, fertility, and happiness.
HISTORY: A dragee is a form of confectionery that is decorative, symbolic and historical. Dragees currently take three forms in the confectionery world. The historic dragees, called confetti in Italian and Jordan almonds or sugared almonds in English, are whole almonds coated with a sugar shell, made in various colors.
These confections have a long history, and are traditionally associated with weddings and special celebrations. Throwing or handing out dragees or confetti at such occasions (hence the name for the multi-coloured paper confetti which usually now replaces them) dates back centuries, and is meant to ensure prosperity, fertility, happiness, and good luck.
Ideal for baby shower favors too. For a personal touch, add our Personalized Favor Tags with an "Almond Poem", explaining the tradition of jordan almonds.
As featured in Martha Stewart Weddings. Available in silver (these are EDIBLE silver colored candy coated almonds) or gold-wrapped (white almonds wrapped in gold foil). Approx. 100-110 pieces/lb.
