Time flies, time flies, and it's orange and green in a blink of an eye. Oranges in Huang Chengcheng bring a touch of beautiful color to the declining late autumn.
Oranges are native to China, and traditional oranges generally mature in the year of 10- 1 1, which is the so-called late autumn season. When other fruits have begun to enter the fresh-keeping state, they have arrived late and have successively reached the C position of major fruit stalls. Oranges are also one of the few fruits that ripen after the first frost. Newly picked oranges are not only nutritious, but also deeply loved by the public for their sweet, sour, juicy and orange-scented taste and taste. I believe many people will not miss the opportunity to taste them.

Eating oranges at this time of year will yield a lot of dried tangerines. My dried tangerine peel is clean and hygienic, free from insects, and easy to take at any time. Many people may not wash the skin before eating oranges, which may bring bacteria or dust from the skin into the pulp. In fact, as long as the peel is thoroughly cleaned before eating, you can not only eat healthily, but also harvest clean dried tangerine peel, because only the rounded appearance of orange peel before peeling is the most convenient and thorough cleaning. Let's see how I do it.
Wash and peel oranges ▲
Harvesting dried tangerine peel is roughly divided into four steps:
The orange you choose to make dried tangerine peel must be ripe, so that the orange looks orange or yellow, and the surface is bright and spotless, so that the dried tangerine peel is of high quality.
During the growth period of citrus, it is inevitable to spray pesticides to control pests and diseases. In addition, it is easy to be contaminated with bacteria or dust during picking and transportation, and should be thoroughly cleaned before eating.
1, clean
First, put the bought oranges into the pot, rinse them roughly, and then wipe the surfaces of the oranges one by one with flour. Flour water is weakly alkaline, which can neutralize most acidic pesticides and is finally washed away by running water.

soak
Put the flour-kneaded oranges into a large pot, add a spoonful of salt, then pour enough water into the oranges, soak them for about ten minutes, and then soak them in light salt water to remove the bacteria on the surface of the oranges as much as possible. After soaking, rinse with running water. Orange peel soaked in salt water can also prevent insects when stored.

3, peeling and drying
The washed oranges can be safely eaten. At this time, the peeled orange peel is placed flat in a clean container. If the quantity is large, try to spread it to prevent accumulation and mildew. Then put it in a ventilated and dry place to dry. If possible, put it on a transparent balcony and occasionally turn it over until it is dry.
