About Candied fruit

Candied fruit, also known as glacé fruit, is fruit that has been preserved by being cooked and coated in sugar syrup until the fruit becomes saturated and glossy. Common examples include cherries, pineapple, citrus peel, or figs, often used in baking or as decorative toppings. Originating from ancient preservation methods, candied fruit is prominent in European cuisines, especially in holiday desserts like fruitcake. While candied fruit retains some fiber and vitamins from the original fruit, it is high in sugar and calories due to the sweetening process, making it a less healthy choice if consumed in excess. It is typically low in fat but offers minimal nutritional benefits compared to fresh fruit. Candied fruit is best enjoyed as an occasional treat or incorporated in recipes rather than as a daily snack. Moderation is key for including this flavorful, vibrant ingredient in a balanced diet.
