Tag: Citrus rind

The outer layer of a citrus fruit is often called both a peel and a rind, but the two terms are not always interchangeable. Understanding the difference between a fruit's skin and a fruit's rind comes down to thickness, texture, and botanical context.

A single tablespoon of orange peel provides nearly three times more vitamin C and four times more fiber than the inner fruit. So, is it okay to eat the rind of an orange? While rich in nutrients, it's also important to understand the safe practices, potential downsides, and palatable preparations.
