Made from the dried peel of sweet orange (Citrus x sinensis) fruit, cut/sifted orange peel has a pleasant aroma and a complex citrusy flavor that is both sweet and bitter.

Like lemon peel and orange peel powder, cut/sifted orange peel is popular in tea blends and other culinary creations like jams, jellies, infused drinks, baked goods, marinades, sauces, and vinaigrettes. With its refreshing, subtle scent, orange peel is also popular in potpourri and homemade aromatherapy products.

Sweet orange offers a variety of health benefits and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for millennia. The peels are a rich source of vitamin C to boost the immune system, antioxidants (like flavonoids) to fight inflammation, and fiber to support healthy digestion. The powder is often encapsulated as a dietary supplement.
