Captured at Autumns' Lughnasadh in 2022, with the first major harvest of the year. Orange (Citrus x sinensis) peel has often been added to comprehensive, multi-herbal formulations, while also being used on its own. Dried orange peel has a concentrated orange flavor and is delightful in infusions, culinary dishes, and as an extract. There are substantially more enzymes, flavonoids, and phyto-nutrients in the peel of the orange rather than the fruit. The peel is where all the essential components accumulate and they may be found in three main sections of the peel; the flavedo, albedo, and oil sacs. The light flavor makes it easy to add into tea blends. On top of being an ideal addition or centre of beverages or billy pots, it is also great in culinary dishes, cosmetics, body care recipes, and for liquid extracts. Peels can also be used in multi-herbal formulations. I do have a drying process which varies a little from others, but like it because of the caramel like coloring and taste in end result. I use the oven on low for some of the process and a dehydrator for the rest, be the Sweet Orange be in slices, or the Peels alone in diamonds or julienne. The Peels are also richer in nutrients than the flesh, being worth keeping for non fruiting orange tree months. Botanical Matters...Orange or Sweet Orange (Torthaí Oráiste in Irish)
