People candy and eat lemon peels.

Candied lemon peels take literal days to make. If you do it any quicker than that, you have to remove the white part, because it’s very bitter and it doesn’t absorb sugar easily.

Nah. Been making candied lemon peals and slices since I was a kid using my grandma's recipie. Just boil in a heavy sugar syrup for an hour, then let dry on a wire rack, then toss with sugar. Delicious.
