Description
Dragon's Beard Candy has been described as an old-fashioned candy characterized by a "rich, sweet flavor" with a threaded, chewy texture. Its appearance resembles that of a white cocoon or pillow shape. It has a very high sugar content (29%), and may be considered additionally unhealthy due to its 4% saturated fat content. For comparison, comparing Dragon's Beard Candy with cotton candy, cotton candy has no fat content. Despite the fact that the candy is well-known traditionally, it is typically not popular to keep within a household since it primarily has a very short shelf life, due to its high sensitivity to moisture, as well as the tendency of the candy to melt when exposed to higher temperatures, including atypically warm weather conditions.

“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
