Main ingredientsCandied peel of citrus

Succade is the candied peel of any of the citrus species, especially from the citron or Citrus medica which is distinct with its extra-thick peel; in addition, the taste of the inner rind of the citron is less bitter than those of the other citrus.[1] However, the term is also occasionally applied to the peel, root,[2] or even entire fruit or vegetable like parsley, fennel[3] and cucurbita[4] which have a bitter taste and are boiled with sugar to get a special "sweet and sour" outcome.[5]

Fruits which are commonly candied also include dates,[6] cherries, pineapple, ginger,[7] and the rind of watermelon.[8]
