There are two ways to make dried tangerine peel from orange peel. One is to simply clean the orange peel and dry it. This method is very simple, as long as you pay attention to peeling large pieces of orange peel when eating oranges, and then put it in a sunny place to dry. In rural areas, people often use this method to make dried tangerine peel.
Another method of making dried tangerine peel is three steaming and three drying. First, clean the orange peel, dry it in the sun, steam it dry in a steamer, then steam it dry, and steam it for the second and third time in the same way to get dried orange peel. The dried tangerine peel made by this method will taste better than the directly dried tangerine peel, and has a strong tangerine peel fragrance.
It should be noted here that not all orange peels can be made into dried tangerine peel. The orange peel used to make dried tangerine peel must be a fully mature yellow orange, and the green peel made of green orange is different from dried tangerine peel, which everyone should pay special attention to.
I believe many people are full of curiosity, why things dried with orange peel are called dried tangerine peel instead of orange peel. In fact, the most important word of dried tangerine peel is "Chen", not dried tangerine peel. Generally, only dried tangerine peel aged for more than three years can be called dried tangerine peel, while dried tangerine peel aged for more than five years will have medicinal value. The longer the storage time, the greater the medicinal value, so the common dried tangerine peel has no effect except its fragrance, which is why it is called dried tangerine peel instead of dried tangerine peel.
I happened to do it this year. When buying oranges for washing, you'd better buy oranges that look dull. This orange is not waxed. Peel off the skin and put it in the sun. Dry it thoroughly, be sure to dry it thoroughly, and pick it up in the same shape. Then steam in a steamer, steam in cold water for more than ten minutes, and then stuffy for about 5 minutes. Take it out and continue to dry. Repeat this three times. It's all steamed three times The first picture is drying, the second picture is torn into small pieces for storage, and the third picture is cut into strips with scissors. After drying, put it in a sealed container, date it, and leave it for a few more years. The longer the better. Don't forget to look at it often in the meantime. If there is resurgence, just remember to take it out to dry.
Now the house is full of smells and tastes good.
Newcomers come to answer.
Whether the orange peel is good or not is actually the skin of the fruit of Rutaceae, and the dried tangerine peel used in our daily life is made of the skin of this plant. I believe many people are no strangers to dried tangerine peel, but what impressed them more was dried tangerine peel which was left for a period of time. Although tangerine peel is a dry peel, its own fragrance also has certain particularity. In addition to medicine, tangerine peel is also used as seasoning in many daily cooking.
At present, the price of dried tangerine peel is erratic, and many dried tangerine peels advertised as "Xinhui" in the market have also been smashed and forged, so many consumers will choose their own dried tangerine peel. In fact, it is not difficult for people to make dried tangerine peel by themselves. In addition to the authentic raw material "Xinhui Citrus", many orange peels can actually be used as materials for dried tangerine peel. In the book Shennong Materia Medica in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was clearly recorded that the traditional Chinese medicine Chenpi came from ordinary Chenpi, and it was not until the Tang and Song Dynasties that there was such a clear record of Chenpi. The key to making dried tangerine peel is "aging", because 30% of good dried tangerine peel depends on raw materials and 70% is its own "aging" technology.
1. Self-made "Chenpi" also has efficacy, mainly becoming the "volatile oil" of citrus peel. We come into contact with the raw material "Chenpi" every day, and its peel is formed by containing a variety of volatile oils. In the research and application of Xinhui tangerine peel, the volatile components of tangerine peel with different storage years were studied. With the increase of storage life, the contents of α -pinene and β -pinene increased, while the content of limonene decreased. The samples stored 1 year change gently, and the samples stored for more than 3 years change greatly. At the same time, it was found that tangerine peel stored for more than 10 years contained many kinds of alcohols, ketones, acids, esters and other compounds. The content of flavonoids in tangerine peel changed in different years, and it was found that the content of total flavonoids and hesperidin increased with the storage time. According to the conclusion that Xinhui Chenpi is "getting better over time" from the medical practice for hundreds of years, combined with the experimental results of changes in the composition of Chenpi in different years obtained by modern medical circles through modern scientific and technological means, the long-term practice results of past dynasties and the detection results of scientific and technological means mutually confirm that Chenpi is true and reliable, that is, the longer the storage time, the better the efficacy and the higher the value.
2. Make dried tangerine peel by yourself, choose "red" orange dried tangerine peel, and pay great attention to the harvest time. From the autumn to the autumnal equinox, from the autumnal equinox to the winter, from the winter to the end of the winter, different commodities, including orange green peel, red peel and red peel, are processed in different harvest periods, and different commodities have different uses. Based on the principle of grading by stages and picking by superiors, different commodities are processed in different harvest periods, including orange green skin, light red skin and red skin, and different commodities have different uses. This harvesting method is not only conducive to improving yield and quality, but also of great significance to restoring tree potential. When picking, the citrus fruit with flat oil skin is the top grade. Why do you suggest choosing "Dahong" citrus? According to the "volatile oil" characteristics of dried tangerine peel, the citrus in the red-orange period is relatively mature, with sufficient sugar and water. Such citrus fruits have good preconditions in the aging process, so the aged tangerine peel will be more fragrant than other green citrus fruits.
Third, homemade dried tangerine peel should pay attention to temperature and humidity. If it is moldy and moth-eaten, it should be dealt with in time. Before peeling, the fruit should be washed and the surface water should be scattered to dry. Combined with this work, grading should be done well. Secondly, the processing requirements of dried tangerine peel are subtle: "Pick the fruit to test your eyesight, and peel it with two or three knives. Turn over the skin to see the road, bask in the skin and take advantage of the weather. " We should take "symmetrical two knives", "positive three knives" or "T-shaped two knives" as orthodoxy; The process of sunning is "the weather is fine before winter, and the skin becomes soft due to water loss;" Natural aging, drying without hesitation "is an expert. Generally speaking, when picking oranges in a citrus farm, you can ask an experienced aunt to help you peel them. Every piece of 0.3 yuan -0.5 yuan will also leave you a lot of time! It takes 3-5 days to renovate the leather for the first time, and then it will be packed and stored when it feels hard. New leather needs ventilation and regular drying. Adequate drying can prevent burning, mildew, insects and moisture. Old skins more than three years old need to be fixed and preserved, and the skins should be turned in time from June 65438 to February every year. Generally speaking, it is the principle of "opening the skin in specifications, softening the body and reversing the skin, and drying the skin before winter".
4. Self-made "dried tangerine peel" can be cooked and eaten, but it is best to choose formal channels for "medicine". The earliest historical record of dried tangerine peel is Shennong Herbal Classic, in which it is mentioned that "orange pomelo is famous for its warm orange peel". Later, Li Shizhen also elaborated on dried tangerine peel in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Bitter can relieve dryness, pungent can disperse, and warm can be harmonious. When it cures all diseases, it always takes the power of regulating qi and drying dampness. " "Centennial dried tangerine peel, Millennium ginseng"; "One or two dried tangerines, one or two gold" ... It can also be seen from these proverbs that dried tangerines not only have very high medicinal value and health care function, but also are not cheap.
So many friends began to "make their own" dried tangerine peel, and even directly used fresh dried tangerine peel as medicine or tea, which is very undesirable. The daily use of orange peel is mostly based on its physical properties. For example, its unique fragrance can remove fishy smell, and adding it to tea drinks can improve the taste of tea products. However, if the "dried tangerine peel" mentioned by Chinese medicine is the orange peel that needs to be aged, its efficacy is far from that of ordinary orange peel. For thousands of years, people in China have been making dried tangerine peel from citrus peel. In many rural areas of China, many elderly people drink orange peel water to treat respiratory diseases. Although it is a folk prescription, it also reflects the wisdom of traditional folk culture.
In short, authentic high-quality oranges are only the beginning of the road to dried tangerine peel, and for dried tangerine peel, the older generation also stayed, saying that "the skin is easy to get, but it is difficult to age." In the eyes of many dried tangerine peel lovers, buying a good dried tangerine peel is not twice the result with half the effort, and then the key to a good dried tangerine peel is to turn it over, prevent moisture, prevent aging and so on!
Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae is a unique spice in China and a traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, it can be divided into two parts in pharmacopoeia, tangerine peel and tangerine peel. The former refers to the citrus peel produced in Xinhui, Guangdong. Good dried tangerine peel is also very expensive, and the most expensive 1 kg is only 1 10,000. In fact, if it's just for cooking, you can do some at home. The method is very simple.

How to make dried tangerine peel at home? Have you ever done it? In the hometown of farmers, the main source of income for every household in the past was selling oranges, which started in September and lasted until after the Spring Festival. In the process of long-term processing of oranges, some orange peels are often dried and made into dried oranges.
People used to come to the village to buy dried tangerine peel, and they could earn some pocket money a year. After all, there are many oranges at home, so put them on the stove to dry after eating.
If you want to use orange peel to make dried tangerine peel, you still need to pay attention. First of all, after eating oranges, it is best to wash the orange peel with clear water. After all, some orange peels are covered with dust.
Secondly, after cleaning, if the weather is good, you can take it outdoors to dry. But in winter, because there is always a stove at home, orange peel is put in a bamboo basket and then hung on the stove for baking. This will dry out in a few days.
Finally, when the dried orange peel must be sealed and preserved, it is easy to get moldy if it is not preserved properly. And the orange peel should be taken out regularly to dry. The longer the orange peel is preserved, the better the effect! Then if you usually make tea or cook, you can put some dried tangerine peel in it. Farmers love the smell of dried tangerine peel and often use it to soak in water!
Not all oranges can be made into dried oranges. Every winter, we buy some Sichuan oranges to dry them. Add a handful of flour to clear water, soak oranges 10 minute, and clean the oranges soaked in flour. When peeling oranges, peel the oranges into four petals, which is convenient for drying and preservation. Put the dried orange peel in a plastic bag or box and seal it, write down the date, and you can use it the next year. The longer the storage time, the better the efficacy.
Today, let's share how to make dried tangerine peel with orange peel in daily life.
1 First, let's go to the supermarket to pick some oranges with bigger heads and better varieties. Generally, such orange peel is thick and full.
2. Take out the pulp. We peel off the orange peel we need and peel it as completely as possible so that we can cut the orange peel later.
I can choose to juice or eat fresh. Next, we clean the peeled orange peel. Remember that we only need the orange peel, and everything else needs to be removed.
We put the washed orange peel in an iron pot filled with water, blanch the orange peel with water, and then take it out when the water starts to boil.
We take the scalded orange peel to the sun to dry in order to remove the excess water in the orange peel. In fact, this step is also the most critical step in the production of dried tangerine peel. Make sure that the dried tangerine peel is dry enough, which is not only beneficial to the preservation of dried tangerine peel, but also helpful to improve the quality of dried tangerine peel.
In addition to the above methods, we also have a method of making dried tangerine peel, that is, steaming the dried tangerine peel in a pot, and then taking it out to dry, so that it will be almost five or six times.
Although the dried tangerine peel made by this method is effective, people don't often use it. That's because in rural areas, this method is too complicated. Every night, when you come back from work, take a bath and go to bed early. Who has the heart to do these things?
Specifically:
Pick a fuller orange peel first, and you can accumulate more. I usually save oranges one by one when a large number of oranges are on the market, and I don't deliberately buy oranges to make dried oranges. I peeled off the orange peel and put it in a ventilated place to keep it slowly. Pay attention to watch it often and don't get moldy. It's okay to do it after I've saved enough.
Step 2: Put all the collected orange peels into water, soak them in some salt for a while, and then brush them carefully one by one with a soft brush. Water can be controlled or not.
Step 3: Find a steamer, add water and boil the water. Put it in a steamer, put the washed orange peel into it according to the amount, and then steam it on medium heat 10- 15 minutes. During this period, pay attention to the whole fire and don't steam. Pay attention to add enough water at a time, and don't add water halfway. Set a time. Then pour out the orange peel and spread it out to dry. Be sure to put it in a ventilated place.
Step 4: When the sun is dry, repeat step 3, then steam, air and repeat it three times. When it is completely dry, you can find a clean container and put it away, and then open your mouth to get some air from time to time. This kind of glass jar I use is convenient for storage and observation. In our north, due to the dry climate, it is generally not moldy. Friends in the south may have to observe it from time to time. The orange peel made in this way is really fragrant. Soak in water every day, and it tastes particularly good. When I put some slices in cook the meat, it smells fishy and tastes very good, especially when I cook beef. The meat is rotten and delicious. My mouth is watering.
One more thing to remind you, don't forget to put a label on the container and write down the production time, so that it is not easy to get confused when it is made every year, and it is convenient to get it early every time you use it. I just showed you what I made last year. I used it all in the first three or four years, and my family liked it very much.
Orange not only tastes good, but also its skin has medicinal value. In the folk, people often leave the leftover orange peel, dry it and soak it in water. Orange peel is called "dried tangerine peel" in traditional Chinese medicine, and the production technology of medicinal dried tangerine peel is quite particular.
First of all, tangerine peel made from oranges in different seasons has different medicinal properties. Generally, dried tangerine peel is divided into orange green peel, yellow peel and red peel, and the content of hesperidin in them is also very different. Citrus green peel is usually harvested from autumn to cold dew season, when citrus is not fully mature; Yellow skin is harvested from cold dew to light snow; The red skin should be harvested from light snow to slight cold.
Oranges will be peeled after harvest. Generally, two-knife method or three-knife method is used to peel the tangerine peel, so that the specifications of the peeled tangerine peel can be consistent. Then open the orange peel to dry, which will make the endothelial tissue lose water as soon as possible. When drying, it is usually dried in sunny and dry weather and turned over in time.
Of course, the most important thing about dried tangerine peel is the word "Chen", which is what the folks say, "The longer the year of dried tangerine peel, the more valuable it is." General medicinal dried tangerine peel, after more than 3 years of repeated drying, can be regarded as authentic dried tangerine peel. Then put it in a cool and dry place for "aging" and use time to precipitate its value. Modern pharmacological research shows that flavonoids in dried tangerine peel will increase after it is aged, that is, its medicinal value will increase.
