Orange Peel (6% Bioflavanoids)

History:

Orange Peel is the ripened rind of the Orange (which sometimes becomes more potent with age) and is a particularly rich source of vitamin C. Contrary to popular belief, the Orange is not native to China. Although its descendence is not exactly known, its origins appear to be in northern and northeastern India; and it was well-known in China and Indo-China as a medicine in the first century A.D. Orange Peel is still used in China today (Citrus sinensis) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as an ingredient in different therapeutic preparations. There is a great deal of current research being conducted lately with respect to Orange (and Lemon) Peel and its powerful constituent, d-limonene. The fruit known as the Seville Orange was first brought to Europe by the Moors in the ninth century and grown in the Arabic realms of Spain and Sicily; sweeter Oranges came to the continent later with Portuguese traders. Columbus introduced the Orange to the West Indies, and the fruit was well established in Florida before 1565. Oranges were growing in California by 1800. The smallish trees grow in well-drained soil in sun with ample moisture in warm climates and do not transplant well. They are susceptible to many different insects and fungal diseases and are also quite sensitive to frost. Orange happens to be the most imported fruit in international commerce, both as a popular and rich nutritious food on its own (fresh orange with peel often accompanies fatty dinner entrées to support digestion), and also as an ingredient in candies, marmalades, herbal therapy, cosmetics, soaps, perfumes, aromatherapy, etc. Orange Peel is one of the most important sources of vitamin C on earth (the Peel contains more than the pulp), and is also rich in citric acid and d-limonene. Other constituents include p-synephrine, pectin, volatile oils, hesperidin, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron and vitamin A.
