However, because it is too troublesome to go to the pharmacy to buy medicinal materials, and the price difference of dried oranges in different years is too great, many people have moved the idea of making dried oranges by themselves.
Collect the leftover orange peel directly, and then take it to the sun to dry, so as to achieve an economical and practical way of health preservation.
But is this really feasible? Can the orange peel at home really be used as dried tangerine peel in the sun?
What can be clearly told here is: no!
Although dried tangerine peel is dried tangerine peel, not all dried tangerine peel can be dried tangerine peel!
First of all, when making dried tangerine peel, you must choose the orange peel of a mature orange.
And the process is complicated. According to China Pharmacopoeia, the processing method of dried tangerine peel is: removing impurities, spraying water, moistening thoroughly, shredding and drying in the shade, and it can be made without direct sun drying.
Secondly, orange peel is good for long-term medicine, and the storage period is at least 3 years.
Therefore, it is called dried tangerine peel. The longer it is stored, the better its efficacy will usually be.
Thirdly, the dried tangerine peel made at home may have pesticide residues, and it may rot and mold during the drying process, which is likely to have a great impact on the body.
Therefore, for dried tangerine peel, it is recommended to go to a pharmacy to buy it.
