Product description
The appeal of Orange Peel
Despite its reputation as a waste product, the peel of the orange fruit is also highly useful across multiple applications. Itâs a popular botanical ingredient for gins where it adds a zesty touch to drinks, itâs also found in jams, drinks and orange flavoured products. The peel is also rich in nutrients that can boost skincare when applied topically. The dried peel can also be ground into a powder but still retains its healing properties.
Orange Peel for food application
The dried peel of the orange is highly versatile for the food industry and can be added to soft drinks, fruit beverages, jams, marmalades and orange-flavoured products. Depending on the end result youâre aiming for you can opt for either a sweet tasting orange peel, or a bitter variety.
Orange Peel and alcohol production
The dried peel of the orange is widely used in gin production â both the sweet and the bitter varieties. The gentle citrus taste of this botanical pairs well with spicy or earthy gins to give it a new dimension. Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and cassia all work well â as does a hint of rosemary. Whether you opt for the sweet or bitter variety will of course affect the flavour profile of your gin â traditional recipes used the Seville orange, which is bitter, as at one point these were the only oranges available. In the 15th century the sweet orange became popular and has remained so ever since.
Orange Peel for health & beauty
Dried orange peel also has a number of uses for the beauty industry. It can be included in pot pourri mixes and added to bath salts or scrubs for its decorative qualities. But thereâs also far more to orange peel than meets the eye â did you know for example itâs the healthiest part of the fruit? The peel contains a higher level of vitamin C than the fleshy insides â which is great for your skin as it helps to protect it from free radical damage. This makes it a great addition to facial skincare as it can fight against ageing and encourage healthy, glowing skin.
