Do You Eat Orange Peels?

[Zaddd]

You know right after you have eaten the internal flesh of the orange, have you considered or wondered how an orange peel tastes like? I'll admit it, I had been eating peels a lot (only in healthy conditions). That isn't weird, and I know I'm not the only one enjoy eating them. Moreover, I recently did some research and found out that the peel contain some needed nutrients for our own body, so in my opinion I think it's safe to eat.

You have pica

 

[Zaddd]

Nope, I don't.

 

[Sheep]

never tried and never really thought about it tbh! they seem hard to digest

 

[Her]

You absolutely have pica I'm so sorry

I hate anything orange flavored. Idk why but when I first smelled an orange as a small child, I was so turned off by it that I vowed never to eat one.

 

[Ninetales]

I recall eating small piece of an orange peel by accident as a child and it was absolutely repulsive. Never again.

i don't eat the peel, no. that's always kinda grossed me out.
i do, however, utilize the peel (when called for in a recipe) with a zester to add to a dish! (tho, tbh, i've done it more often with lemon zest versus like orange zest)

I didn't realise you COULD eat the peel...not sure why you would want to, either.

THIS. I saw the title and I was like
WHAT.

For the answer, nope. It's never come into my mind and I don't think it'll taste very good imo.

Just make sure to wash it properly, beforehand!

Also: ever wondered why orange marmalade tastes so bitter? :P

Occasionally, and especially if the fruits were grown on my own plants. It's not about the chems used but rather about the species. Also there are many fruits that should be eaten as a whole. Kumquat for instance.

 

[Kitty]

... you can eat the peel?

 

[Fairy]

I did not realize this is a thing real people do. Well, besides garnishing for lemon/orange/etc zest in cooking.

..Do you eat the peels of other fruits too? Like Bananas?

 

[Azuviin]

I've definitely thought of it, and I've definitely tried it. Wasn't pleasant though.

 

[Zeostar]

No. I don't even enjoy Oranges or Orange juice that much.

 

[gimmepie]

I don't eat the peel because I'm not a monster.

 

[Palamon]

I can't stand any fruit that's orange, so no, I wouldn't even think about eating a peel. The smell of anything orange is too strong for me to even be around, so.

 

[Bellsprout]

No, I lightly bite the outside of an orange to get the peel up so I can peel it off and I hate the flavor of it. I would never consider eating an orange peel unless I absolutely had to.

 

[Commander Saturn]

I would consume the peel but only in front of someone, and only if it made that person uncomfortable.
