What it is

Candied orange peels are strips of orange rind that have been boiled and then preserved in sugar syrup. The process softens the peel and gives it a sweet flavor. They are often used as a flavoring or decoration in baked goods and confectionery.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use candied orange peels primarily for their sweet flavor and chewy texture, adding a citrus note to baked goods like cakes, breads, and pastries. They can also be used as a decorative element or incorporated into candies and desserts.

Health notes

Candied orange peels are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are primarily a source of sugar. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various food additives, but specific evaluations for candied orange peels as a distinct ingredient are not widely published. Due to their high sugar content, excessive consumption could contribute to health issues associated with high sugar intake.

Allergen info

Candied orange peels are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. Gluten is not present unless added during processing.
