Candied Mixed Peel

Candied Mixed Peel is a sweet confection of orange (or other citrus) peel cooked in sugar syrup and often used as a garnish, snack, or ingredient in baked goods and holiday fruitcakes. It is a traditional preparation in Mediterranean and confectionery traditions and is known for its intense citrus aroma and chewy, sugary texture. Nutritionally, Candied Mixed Peel is very high in sugar — about 79g per 100g — which makes it energy-dense and best enjoyed in small amounts rather than as a regular snack. It does retain some of the peel’s fiber and minor amounts of vitamin C and minerals, but it is not a significant source of protein or healthy fats. From a health perspective, candied peel provides pleasant citrus flavor and small amounts of plant compounds, but because of the added sugar it’s more of an occasional treat than a staple ingredient.
