This candy is made from the refreshing Kawachi Bankan, a Japanese citrus. Produced by Kankitsu Labo, which has been specializing in candied fruit products using fruit from local citrus farmers in Ehime prefecture, this candied Kawachi Bankan citrus peel is a real treat. It has been made using a traditional, time-consuming artisan method. Kawachi Bankan is a rare type of citrus even in Japan, it has a high sugar content of about 11%, slightly acidic, and is very juicy. The peel has a grapefruit and lemon-like refreshing flavor with juicy hint to it and an unbeatable fine texture that keeps the sugars firmly attached to the orange peel and prevents your fingers from getting sticky. The candy does not contain any food coloring, artificial fragrance, or preservatives - only the delicious natural citrusy flavor! Our favorite pairing: as salad topping

In addition to using only natural ingredients, these dry candied citrus peels are vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, nut-free, and preservative-free.
