ORANGE TEA

The benefits of orange peel

The outer skin of the citric fruits tastes bitter due to the presence of flavonoids, which protect the fruit from pests. It contains the highest concentration of flavonoids than any other part of the fruit.

Just like the fruits, the peel of an orange is also rich in several nutrients, including fiber, vitamin C, and plant compounds like polyphenols. They also contain other health-friendly nutrients like provitamin A, folate, riboflavin, thiamine, vitamin B6, and calcium. Here are some amazing health benefits of having orange peel tea.

May prevent cancer

The skin of the citric fruits contains a compound called limonene. It is especially concentrated in orange peels, comprising around 97 per cent of this rind's essential oils. This naturally occurring chemical has anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Including this in diet can prevent different types of diseases caused due to inflammation and skin cancer.

May promote better digestion and boost immunity

The strong taste of the tea can increase the production of saliva and stomach acids. Drinking this tea regularly every morning can help to stimulate the digestive system and improve the absorption of nutrients from the food. Additionally, the high nutrient vitamin C content in it can boost your metabolism and immunity.

Prevent chronic diseases

Being a rich source of a plant compound called polyphenols, this tea may also help to prevent and manage many chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and Alzheimer’s. A lab test revealed that intake of polyphenol content and activity in orange peels is much higher than the actual fruit. So, naturally one can benefit more.
