About Orange peel

Orange peel, the outer skin of the citrus fruit, is packed with nutrients and has been utilized across various cuisines for its zesty flavor and health benefits. It is rich in fiber, vitamin C, flavonoids, and antioxidants, which support immunity, digestion, and skin health. In traditional cuisines, orange peel is often used in marinades, baked goods, teas, and marmalades, showcasing its versatile flavor profile. Originating in regions where oranges are cultivated, such as Asia and the Mediterranean, it holds a prominent place in many culinary traditions. Despite its nutritional perks, orange peel can be bitter and might contain pesticide residue, so washing or opting for organic options is recommended. Its essential oils are also commonly used in skincare and aromatherapy. While not typically eaten raw due to its tough texture, orange peel can add a burst of flavor and nutrients when prepared properly.
