Steamed chicken with grapefruit peel
In the past, some people made grapefruit wine, pomelo tea, pomelo peel candy (pomelo peel preserves), and some people extracted the active ingredients from the seeds of pomelo or the small pomelo that were eliminated when selecting fruits, and processed them into pomelo shampoo, pomelo dish soap, etc., which are representatives of the comprehensive utilization of pomelo, which have certain economic and social benefits, and are worth learning and promoting.
Mr. Zhang of Yan Shuangfei Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd. felt that there were too many grapefruit peels in Meixian County, and it was a pity to lose them, and they also polluted the environment, so he wanted to develop a series of grapefruit peel foods. Once, several of his husband's classmates visited Jinyu Park in Nanfu Village and went to her house for dinner, and she made a special Hakka dish she created herself - pomelo peel steamed free-range chicken.

When the lid was opened, someone shouted, "Wow! What a fragrant chicken! Everyone else said, "Wow! It's really fragrant!
The fragrance of yuzu peel and the aroma of free-range chicken are mixed together to create a special fragrance, which is really amazing!
Clip a piece and put it in your mouth, the mellow fragrance is so refreshing! The sensation of taste, smell, sight, and hearing (the sound of shouting too fragrant) is stimulated at the same time, wonderful, don't don't!
It wasn't until today that I realized that grapefruit peel can still be eaten like this!
I really didn't expect the grapefruit peel to be so delicious, it is much more delicious than eating yuzu meat. When you eat grapefruit in the future, you eat meat, and I will eat yuzu peel, hahaha!
