Orange Peel Remedy


Orange peel has more nutrients than the fruit inside. To remove the orange peel you can use a sharp knife, a potato peeler, a zester or a fine grater. Cut between the orange peel and the white membrane and make sure that you remove as little white membrane as possible - as this is very bitter. Chop the thin orange peel into tiny pieces using a chef’s knife on a cutting board.

Orange peel is edible, although it may be difficult to digest; it is advisable to use organic oranges if you are going to eat the peel as there may be insecticides and other chemicals on the outside. Always wash, clean and dry the peel before consuming it or making juice or tea.
