The common sweet orange is cultivated all over the globe, although it started out as a hybrid species in China more than four centuries ago. The dried peel of the fruit is also an important therapy agent in China’s traditional system of healing.
Powdered orange peel may be added to smoothies, teas, baked goods and other foods and beverages. The powder may also be encapsulated, alone or in combination with other botanicals, as a dietary supplement.
