Dried Orange Peel

Concentrated Orange Flavor & Nutrients – Grown in the U.S.

Essential oils found in citrus peels contain a more concentrated flavor than juice or pulp. BCFoods’ dried citrus peel products include the entire peel, including the colorful zest and the pith. Our U.S.-grown dried orange peel is full of bright, sweet-tart flavor. Dried orange peel pairs well with celery and cranberries.

Citrus peel is full of food compounds that support health, some of which are not found in the juice or pulp. Including the pith and not just the citrus zest adds benefit because it is particularly high in citrus pectin and soluble fiber. Peel is also high in essential oils, phytochemicals, immune-supporting vitamin C, and other antioxidants. The peel may support cellular, oral, heart, digestive, and metabolic health. It may also support a healthy inflammatory response.(1)

Dried orange peel is an excellent choice for adding orange flavor to seasonings, beer, spirits, tea, sparkling water, baked goods, chocolate, dressings, and sauces. In addition, citrus peel does not contain citric acid and therefore doesn’t curdle dairy, where juice and pulp do. Use dehydrated orange peel in dairy-based desserts and yogurt.

Upcycled Product

The orange peel that BCFoods sources for dehydration was discarded from oranges used for juicing. Without companies like BCFoods, this “byproduct” would go to waste. Instead, it will be used to add nutrition and flavor to packaged food and beverages around the world.
