There are many uses for orange peels. They can be grated and used as flavoring in salads, soups, and desserts, or used to freshen your garbage disposal and other kitchen spaces.

Candied orange peel is a sophisticated treat. It's made by boiling the peels in sugar and drying them in a dehydrator. It's a long process, but the result tastes great and makes a beautiful, colorful gift.

Eating (or otherwise using) fruits in their entirety is a great idea. It's not only good for you; it benefits the planet as well by helping produce less trash.

In addition to using fruit rinds in recipes, the oil in citrus rinds and peels can also be utilized to make homemade cleaning products and deodorizers. This is becoming a popular trend thanks to the increasing focus on green living.

Not everyone has the time or inclination to make their own natural cleaning products, but you can help the earth easily by composting all your unwanted rinds.

It's a small way to make a big difference.
