Every October, after the tea branch mandarin is ripe, the production of tangerine peel begins. The longer the storage year and the better the preservation of the tangerine peel, the higher the grade and the higher the value.
There is a folk saying that "one or two tangerine peels and one or two gold" and "a hundred years of tangerine peel is better than gold", why is a small piece of tangerine peel loved by everyone?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that tangerine peel has a bitter and pungent taste, warm nature, and has the effect of regulating qi and strengthening the spleen, drying and dampness, and dissolving phlegm, and is often used to relieve symptoms such as abdominal distention, less food, vomiting and diarrhea, and cough and more phlegm.
Many friends directly dry the leftover orange peel and make their own tangerine peel for health. But is it really possible?
01 Is dried orange peel tangerine peel?
Many families have the habit of drying leftover orange peels and soaking them in water as tangerine peels. But when you drink the water soaked in homemade tangerine peel, do you feel bitter and astringent, which is different from the taste of the tangerine peel you bought?
In fact, not all sun-dried orange peels can be called tangerine peels!
First of all, the storage life of tangerine peel is particular, it needs to be placed for at least 3 years, so as to reduce the dryness of it, and achieve the effect of widening the qi, strengthening the spleen and stomach.
The homemade tangerine peel and orange peel may have pesticide residues on it, and the drying time is usually only a few days, and it may also rot and mildew if it is not sealed and stored properly in the process, which may cause fire, diarrhea and even more serious health crises after eating.
