Peel, mixed

Mixed peel is fruit peel, usually from citrus fruits, preserved with sugar and used in baking. In this prepared form, it mainly provides carbohydrate, much of which is sugar. Per 100g, it contains 74g of carbohydrate, including 51g of sugars, alongside 4.5g of fibre and 0.7g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while fibre helps support normal bowel function. The sugar content is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar or overall energy intake. Although mixed peel is made from fruit, its sugar content reflects the preserved product rather than fresh fruit. Its salt content may also be relevant to those monitoring salt intake.
