Etymology

The word 'candied' comes from the French word 'candi', which means 'sugar', derived from the Arabic word 'qandi' (ู‚ูู†ู’ุฏูุฑููŠ), referring to something made of sugar. The practice of candying dates back to ancient times when people began to preserve fruits and vegetables by cooking them in sugar syrup. This method was especially popular in Mediterranean cultures, where the climate allowed for abundant fruit harvests. Over time, the technique spread to other regions and evolved, leading to the candied fruits and sweets we recognize today. By the 16th century, candied foods had become a fashionable delicacy in Europe, often enjoyed by the nobility and used in festive dishes. Today, candied items remain popular in various cuisines around the world.
