There has always been a saying in Chinese medicine that "a hundred years of dried tangerine peel, a thousand years of ginseng". In daily life, people of the older generation often say "one or two skins, one or two gold". Therefore, when oranges come into the market in autumn, many people begin to have a bad idea: leave the peel after eating oranges, dry them and soak them in water.

However, the nutritionist in the explosion nutrition class should remind everyone that you can't get dried tangerine peel by directly drying orange peel, and soaking orange peel in water may be harmful to your health:

Literally, dried tangerine peel is orange peel that has been put for a long time. In fact, the dried orange peel at home is not dried tangerine peel, but the raw material of dried tangerine peel at most. Because only a specific variety of orange peel can be called dried tangerine peel after frequent processing.

This process is very complicated. First, it should be dried in the sun, put in a sealing device for 60 days-150 days, and humidified with 80% wet air on the way. Then when the peel becomes soft, it is dried in the sun, and finally it is sealed and stored for a period of time to get the real dried tangerine peel.

On the other hand, in life, everyone basically basks in the sun, generally not for too long, and may take it out to soak in water for 2-3 weeks.

However, the nutritionist in the explosion nutrition class wants to tell everyone that this homemade orange peel is not recommended to be soaked in water. Because in the process of drying, it is likely to be accompanied by dust, dust and other dirty things, which may be harmful to the body after drinking.

And as I said before, this is not real dried tangerine peel, so its health care function is very limited. So what if I can't bear to throw it? In fact, orange peel also has a very common use in life, which is to deodorize and relieve boredom. It is a very good choice to put a little when stewing meat.

Finally, every autumn, many fans ask us, what's the matter with orange skin turning yellow? In fact, the nutritionist in the explosion nutrition class told everyone that this is only a short-term "face value problem" and will not affect health.

Because oranges are rich in carotene, when you eat a lot at a time, the intake of carotene may not be metabolized in a short time, but will enter the blood, flow to various tissues and organs of the whole body, and dye your skin yellow.

The solution is also simple, that is, don't eat foods rich in carotene. Generally speaking, it refers to yellow fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, oranges, carrots and pumpkins. , can return to normal within 1 week at most.
