What it is
Orange peel in cubes is the candied peel of an orange, typically from bitter oranges. The peel is boiled, then simmered in sugar syrup until it becomes translucent and sweet. It is then cut into small cubes or strips.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add candied orange peel for its distinct citrus flavor and chewy texture. It is often used as a flavoring and decorative ingredient in baked goods like cakes, cookies, and sweet breads, as well as in confectionery.
Health notes
Candied orange peel is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily a source of sugar. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar citrus products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. It is derived from fruit.
