3 reasons not to throw away the tangerine peel

The fragrant peel of citrus fruits can be used in cooking. Mandarin zest gives a special taste with liver, cakes, desserts, sauces and warming drinks. To make spices for a season, grate the peel (or finely chop with a knife), let it sit at room temperature for several days, then keep a tightly closed container. To determine that the zest has dried sufficiently – it becomes very fragile and brittle.

IMPORTANT: Wash the tangerine thoroughly before harvesting from the zest and dirt with a towel.

It is enough to start cleaning the tangerine, as a unique aroma is immediately poured around the apartment. Many even think it’s tastier than the fruits themselves! It is easy to extend this “aromatherapy”. Fruit skin can easily replace your chemical air flavors. Just put it on a hot battery – and in a few seconds you will get rid of unpleasant odors.

Mandarin Peel is a fresh ingredient for home beauty products. To remove redness or pimples on the skin, rub the problem areas with the inner white side of the skin.

Using the zest you can also prepare a conditioner for dry hair. Pour mandarin peels with apple cider vinegar and insist for two days. After that, filter the infusion to remove the zest and dilute it with water (it should have been about three times more than vinegar). After washing the head, wash the hair with this solution – it will give it shine.
