Oranges are juicy, sweet citrus fruits known for being high in vitamin C.

It’s perhaps less well known that orange peels are also rich in several nutrients, including fiber, vitamin C, and plant compounds like polyphenols.

In fact, just 1 tablespoon (6 grams) of orange peel provides 14% of the Daily Value (DV) of vitamin C — nearly 3 times more than the inner fruit. The same serving also packs about 4 times more fiber

Studies show that diets high in vitamin C and fiber benefit heart and digestive health and may protect against certain types of cancer

Orange peel also contains good amounts of pro vitamin A, folate, riboflavin, thiamine, vitamin B6, and calcium

Plus, it’s rich in plant compounds called polyphenols, which may help prevent and manage many chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and Alzheimer’s disease

One test-tube study found that the total polyphenol content and activity in orange peels was significantly higher than in the actual fruit

Specifically, orange peels are a good source of the polyphenols hesperidin and polymethoxyflavones (PMFs), both of which are being studied for their potential anticancer effects

Also, nearly 90% of the essential oils in orange peels are composed of limonene, a naturally occurring chemical that has been studied for its anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties, including against skin cancer
