How to make orange peel from orange peel?

Many people throw away the orange peel after eating oranges. In fact, many people don’t know that discarded orange peels are also used as food and medicine. So, what are the uses of this orange peel? Let us follow the steps of experts to find out!

Especially in autumn and winter, there will be more fruits. When I went home, I stopped by the supermarket to buy some fruits, and the most eye-catching thing was oranges. Speaking of oranges, they are also a treasure that is full of treasures. I remember that for a while, some people would carefully collect the orange peels after eating them, dry them in the sun and soak them in water for drinking. You can also add some dried orange peels to season the meat when cooking.

Of course, there are also many people who throw away the peel after eating oranges. So, what is the use of this orange peel? Orange peel, if left for a period of time, is called tangerine peel. I often use tangerine peel in clinical practice. Someone asked me if I could put the dried orange peels at home into a medical pot and fry them together, instead of buying the tangerine peels from the drug store?

I don’t have much impression of how much tangerine peel costs per gram in hospitals or pharmacies. It’s probably a few cents. But the last time I went out to play, I saw the black tangerine peel in the North and South stores. The store owner said it was fifty years old, but the price was as good as gold. Why? Because the longer the tangerine peel is aged, the better the medicinal effect will be. Generally, it is better to store orange peels for three to five years for better medicinal effects.

I once treated a family of three. It may be that the food at home was too good, and they all had white and thick greasy coatings. All the prescriptions contained tangerine peel, but my father bought the medicine in Shenzhen. When he bought the medicine, he called me and asked me what price of tangerine peel he wanted to buy? I replied that of course the more expensive ones would be better. This is true for ginseng, dendrobium and other good medicines. The Chinese value getting what you pay for. If it is an authentic medicinal material, although it is expensive, the efficacy is guaranteed.

Three weeks later, the family came back for a follow-up visit. My father’s thick coating had disappeared, and his stubborn blood pressure had also been reduced. The mother and son bought the medicine in Beijing. Although their discomfort symptoms improved, the improvement of the thick and greasy coating was not obvious. Thinking of the phone call that father made to me, I realized something. After inspecting several well-known large pharmacies in Beijing, we found that in some pharmacies, including some large pharmacies, the tangerine peel used is orange peel instead of cantaloupe tangerine peel.

Orange peel is bright and yellow in color. The real tangerine peel refers to tangerine peel, which is the dried peel of red tangerine produced in Xinhui District, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province. The longer the storage time, the better, so it is called tangerine peel. The "Erchen Decoction" by Ye Tianshi, a physician in the Qing Dynasty, specifically stated that "Xinhui Pi" is needed. Because orange peels that are not produced in Xinhui are far less effective, they lack fragrance and numb the mouth (that is, they have a bitter and spicy taste). Therefore, the price of Xinhui tangerine peel is higher, and the skin is more expensive than the meat.

Generally, Xinhui peels need to be repeatedly dried for more than five years before they are sent to pharmacies, and by then the color of the orange peels has turned dark and dark. Reminiscent of the tangerine peel that I had seen in Hong Kong and Macao, which is more expensive than gold, I began to suggest that the mother and son should also take tangerine peel. At the same time, I selected a few patients in the outpatient clinic who had severe phlegm and dampness and could not shed their fur despite repeated treatments. Gave them similar advice.

Looking at ancient books, all the medical records of famous doctors have such words: Citrus tangerine peel, Sichuan coptis, Huaiyam, Yun Fuling... This way of writing is to remind the origin of traditional Chinese medicine. It is what we usually call authentic medicinal materials. Authentic medicinal materials are not just words, they condense the wisdom of our ancestors. If you can really follow it, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Let the new members answer this question.

If we talk about the plant variety of "tangerine peel", "tangerine peel" is actually the dried and mature peel of the Rutaceae plant tangerine and its cultivated varieties. Therefore, to a certain extent, it is not wrong to say that tangerine peel is "dried orange peel". The earliest record of the use of tangerine peel in the history of our country is that "Orange Red" was used as medicine in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, the record at that time did not say whether it was the peel or the pulp. However, in the Tang Dynasty, tangerine peel was officially regarded as a good medicine after being aged for a long time. The concept is widely used. After the Song Dynasty, the best tangerine peel was "Guang Chenpi", among which Xinhui tangerine peel was the most famous.

The difference between tangerine peel and Xinhui tangerine peel is not only in terms of quality and efficacy, but also in their origin. period. Now as the first of the three treasures of Guangdong and one of the top ten Guangdong medicines, it has become a national geographical indication product.

In general, tangerine peel is known as "thousand-year-old ginseng and century-old tangerine peel" because of its long-lasting properties. The older Xinhui tangerine peel is, the better the quality, the more expensive it is, and the better its clinical efficacy. At the same time, tangerine peel is also widely used in medicinal diet therapy, including tangerine peel tea, tangerine peel wine, tangerine peel drinks, tangerine peel bread cakes, tangerine peel mooncakes, tangerine peel cakes, tangerine peel sauce, tangerine peel enzymes, tangerine peel soups, dishes, etc., which are favored by the majority of consumers. A warm welcome. In short, with the current wider application and more in-depth research of Xinhui Chenpi, Xinhui Chenpi will have better development prospects in the future. While developing, there is an urgent need to solve the current problem of inability to standardize management of quality and product channels.

It is best to use two or three knives to peel out the pulp and keep the integrity of the orange peel. Try to dry it in a ventilated and cool weather.

It can also be combined with ginger, scallion, red girl's peel, fat seaweed, honeysuckle, and rock sugar. Treat colds, coughs, sore throat, and pharyngitis. Meat preparation fish, meat, chicken and other meat foods have the effect of improving freshness and removing fishy smell. It is especially effective for stewing fish.

In fact, tangerine peel is sold very cheaply in pharmacies. Yes, generally large pharmacies will have traditional Chinese medicine, so you may be better off buying it yourself than buying it yourself. Of course, what I'm talking about is personal use.

The tangerine peel is used as medicine, and the old one is better. The tangerine peel is naturally the citrus peel that has been stored for a long time.
