Orange Peel (Citrus sinensis) is the rind of the Sweet Orange.
Evidence suggests it originated in a region encompassing southern China,
Northeast India, and Myanmar, arising from a natural cross between a mandarin
orange and a pomelo. Traders along the Silk Road are credited with bringing
oranges westward, where they became prized possessions in Europe by the 15th
century.
Medicinally, Orange Peel has long been valued for its vitamin C
content, particularly beneficial in warding off scurvy during long sea voyages.
The peel, leaves, and flowers of the orange tree were also used in traditional
medicine for a variety of ailments, from digestive issues to respiratory
problems. Modern science is still exploring the potential health benefits of
various citrus compounds, including their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
properties.
Culinary uses for Citrus sinensis are extensive and range from
the simple pleasure of enjoying the juicy fruit itself to its starring role in
countless cuisines around the world. Orange juice is a ubiquitous breakfast
drink, while the zest and juice add a bright, citrusy flavor to marinades,
sauces, desserts, and beverages. Orange peels are candied, used to infuse
liquors, and add fragrance to dishes. From marmalade to orange chicken, the
versatility of Citrus sinensis in the kitchen is undeniable.
Citrus sinensis also holds a place in the realm of magic and
folklore. In some traditions, oranges are associated with abundance,
prosperity, and good luck. The orange blossom, the fragrant flower of the
Citrus sinensis tree, is a symbol of purity and innocence, often used in
wedding ceremonies. In other cultures, oranges are incorporated into rituals
for love, attraction, and divination.
