Role in food

Candied fruits are primarily used as a sweetener and for their texture and flavor. …

What it is

Candied fruits are fruits that have been preserved by coating them in sugar or syrup. This process removes water from the fruit and replaces it with sugar, which acts as a preservative. Common fruits used include cherries, oranges, lemons, and pineapple.

Why it's used

Candied fruits are primarily used as a sweetener and for their texture and flavor. They add a chewy texture and sweet, concentrated fruit taste to baked goods. They are frequently found in fruitcakes, panettone, cookies, muffins, and as a decoration for cakes and pastries.

Health notes

Candied fruits are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The high sugar content contributes significantly to the overall sugar intake from foods containing them. JECFA has evaluated sugar and sugar substitutes, and EFSA has also evaluated various sweeteners. Due to their high sugar content, excessive consumption may be linked to health issues associated with high sugar diets.

Allergen info

Candied fruits are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. Gluten is not typically present unless the fruit is processed in a facility that also handles gluten-containing grains.
