Oranges are undoubtedly one of the most famous fruits worldwide. While the peels of this tasty fruit are usually discarded, many believe they contain essential nutrients. Like oranges, its peels are nutrient-rich with vitamin C, A, B6, riboflavin, fiber, polyphenols, calcium, folate, etc. As per studies, diets rich in fiber and vitamin C are beneficial for the heart, skin, and gut health. People can bite the orange skin directly or cut them into very thin strips and add it to smoothies or salad. Like Oranges, its peels are also a good source of antioxidants.
