The Sweet History of Dragée: From French Roots to Global Delight

"Dragee" is a misspelling of the word "dragée".

A dragée is a type of sugar-coated confectionery, typically in the form of small balls or pearls. They are often used as decorations for cakes, cupcakes, and other baked goods. The sugar coating can be made from various ingredients, such as granulated sugar, powdered sugar, or chocolate.

The word "dragée" is derived from the French language, where it is spelled "dragée" or "dragé". It is believed to have originated in the 17th century, and was originally used to describe a type of sweetmeat made with ground almonds and sugar. Over time, the term has been adopted in other languages and cultures, and is now used to describe a wide variety of sugar-coated confections.
