Orange Peel

Bitter and sweet, a great addition to desserts.

The orange originated in Southeast Asia, and in many languages is known as a “Chinese apple.” The flavor of this acidic fruit can vary from sweet to sour depending on the variety. Oranges are a great source of vitamin C, and also provide dietary fiber, folate, calcium and vitamin A. The thick bitter rind can be crystallized and used in recipes as flavoring or garnish, including cakes, muffins, or even chocolate coated.
