Used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years, dried Citrus x sinensis peel has been a staple in multi-herbal formulations as well as a standalone botanical. With its concentrated citrus flavor and aroma, dried orange peel enhances teas, culinary creations, and herbal extracts.
Originating in China, sweet orange is now cultivated in warm climates worldwide, with major production in Florida, California, and the Mediterranean. The peel contains a significantly higher concentration of enzymes, flavonoids, and phytonutrients than the fruit itself, accumulating in three key layers: the flavedo, albedo, and oil sacs.
Traditionally, cut orange peel is steeped as a tea, while the powdered form is blended into beverages for a sweet, effervescent touch. Its versatility makes it a valuable ingredient in jams, jellies, stir-fries, baked goods, and spice blends. Additionally, it is widely used in skincare and cosmetic formulations for its naturally uplifting fragrance and beneficial properties.
No known precautions. However, we recommend consulting a qualified healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
