Candied lemon peel is a sweet and tangy treat made by simmering strips of lemon peel in sugar syrup and then drying or crystallizing them for a chewy texture. Originating in European cuisines, particularly as an ingredient in desserts and holiday baking, it has also found its place across global recipes. Nutritionally, it offers a small amount of fiber and antioxidants due to the retained citrus peel. However, it is high in sugar, making it important to enjoy in moderation. Its vibrant flavor makes it a popular garnish for baked goods and cocktails or a snack on its own. Candied lemon peel captures the sunny essence of lemons while balancing sweetness and zest, offering a burst of citrus taste that brightens recipes and dishes.
