About Candies, sugar-coated almonds
Sugar-coated almonds — often known as Jordan almonds or dragées — are whole almonds enclosed in a hard, glossy sugar shell. A fixture at weddings and celebrations, they pair the crunch of the candy coating with the firm, rich nut inside.
Per 100 grams they provide about 474 calories, split between the sugary shell and the almond. The carbohydrate is high at around 68 grams, most of it sugar (about 63 grams) from the coating. The almond, though, contributes real nutrition: roughly 10 grams of protein, some fiber, about 100 milligrams of calcium and 255 milligrams of potassium — and notably the fat, near 18 grams, is mostly the unsaturated kind, so saturated fat stays low at about 2 grams per 100 grams. A 1-ounce (28-gram) serving, six or seven candies, comes to roughly 130 calories.
In effect these are half candy, half nut: the shell is pure sugar, while the almond underneath brings the protein, healthy fats, and minerals. That makes them a bit more substantial than a purely sugar candy, but the coating still adds a lot of sugar, so a small handful is the right portion.
