For more than 3,000 years, the tradition of Jordan Almonds and weddings has held strong. Now available in many colors, but traditionally white, Jordan Almonds are edible wedding favors meant to symbolize the bittersweet qualities of life. But, according to the tradition of Jordan Almonds and weddings, the candy coating on these edible wedding favors represents the blessing that the marriage be filled with many more sweet times than bitter times. Each 5 lb box of white Jordan Almonds contains approximately 600 individual almonds.
