  • Question
    It is the peel of a lemon or orange bad for you?
    Community Answer
    No. If it's cleaned properly and not consumed in excess, it's a natural breath-freshener. Also, the white stuff between the skin and the fruit is good for intestinal health. You find it abundantly in grapefruit or pomelos.

  • Question
    Can I use oven-dried orange peel as a fertilizer?
    Community Answer
    No, once you bake them you degrade their nutrients to almost nothing and they take a lot longer to compost.

    No, but adding it to the mulch will help the plant grow if you place it outside.
