About Orange peel, raw
The sweet orange is the world's most popular citrus fruit, a round, juicy globe of segmented flesh wrapped in fragrant, pebbly orange skin. Sweeter and far less bitter than the ancestral fruits it descended from, it spans many varieties, from the easy-peeling navel and the deep-hued blood orange to the ultra-juicy Valencia famous for orange juice. Oranges are renowned for vitamin C - one fruit covers most of a day's needs - and also deliver fiber, folate, potassium, and antioxidants, all for modest calories.
They are eaten fresh out of hand, squeezed for juice, segmented into salads, and used as zest and juice to flavor sauces, marinades, cakes, and marmalade, while the fragrant zest holds aromatic oils that perfume both sweet and savory dishes. Choose oranges that feel heavy for their size with firm, unblemished skin; a little surface green does not mean they are unripe. Store them at room temperature for a few days, or keep them in the refrigerator crisper for up to a couple of weeks.
