I have used dried orange peels, a cinnamon stick and a couple cloves as a stovetop potpourri. It makes the house smell awesome
I do the same. I love that. ❤️
I love the mandarin peel in coconut milk latte with a dash of organic vanilla bean paste. I dry them then grind them into powder. I grow my own mandarins which are organic. I live in Australia. Thank you for your video!
Can you tell me what grinder you use? I’m looking for one ❤
I often use my orange peel powder in salad dressing. It is delicious!
Orange Pepper... my son loves it more than lemon pepper on fish, chicken and pork.
Love how you dressed in orange as well :) Love all of the uses, I'm sure orange creme pie would be a hit at my house.
Was that you that just bought the Farmer's Market apron?
@@RainCountryHomestead It was! I wear mine every single day now. I had other aprons, but I only use the Heidi aprons-the rest I sent to the thrift store.lol. It's part of my getting dressed in the morning routine. Love those aprons.
Thank you Sharon! All packed and waiting for USPS pickup :D
Use for orange butter to go on cranberry bread! Lovely video!
I really enjoyed this video on citrus preservation. One element about the "bitter" peel is that it is invaluable to maintain a healthy blood sugar, as antidote for borderline diabetics, those having weight issues, "bitter" is the Chinese remedy to balance one's constitution (Prakriti). In Indian Ayurvedic medicine the balancing tastes are hot & Sour (Pitta) remedy for too cool a constitution, bitter (Vata) as antidote for too much sweet (Kapha) like carbohydrates which making one heavier, all of these "tastes" are included in both Chinese remedy and Indian remedy, included in each meal for a balanced constitution. Therefore, one can make a bitter tea from the more bitter inner peel of the citrus as a balancing remedy. Great Video, thank you!!!

You can spread them on the ground around the house to deter ants.
fresh peels:
cleaning vinegar
dehydrated peels:
powdered for flavor icing, breads, chocolate
whole sliced dried for extract -with honey and wine
orange chicken ..
teas
oatmeal ...etc
orange cream pie..
not organic:
use in soap making
I have an orange tree in my backyard - completely organic. I certainly will try dehydrating the peels for tea - such a great idea! I do make a wonderful kumquat pie from ground kumquat using their peel (the sweetest part) and insides less the seeds mixed with sweetened condiensed milk. It is wonderful so now I think I should dry the peel from those sweet kumquats to use for tea, for flavoring in cakes and cookies and breads. Oh my, you've got mind mind swirling now.
Great info! Love the orange flowers, clothing and accessories....
Orange peel candy, makes a great gift for holidays, easy to make.I have a ton in the freezer to get too.
I make rosehip tea that immitates the taste of mulled wine by adding cinnamon, ginger and cloves, and then a dash of blackberry shrub made with apple cider vinegar for some extra tang and sweetness. The orange peel would really make it complete.
Firelighters would be a good use for non-organic dehydrated orange peels, and when stored close to the woodstove would make the room smell lovely.
The pith is worth saving as it contains healthy bioflavenoids.
judyofthewoods I really like your idea of firelighter sounds like a fantastic idea and yes, we like eating our pith for it's health benefits.
Been drying every orange and grapefruit peelings that I get my hands on. And all my extra herbs. Love the versatile ways you have found use for them. I love it. As always thank you for sharing with us!!
Pith actually has nutritional value: vitamin c and fiber. Thanks for this video. I’ve been looking for a way to incorporate the entire orange or mandarin into my diet.
I tried this some time ago after watching another video of yours. I love the orange powder in my hot tea. (Not a coffee drinker) I also have made the cleaning vinegar from oranges from aldi's. Organic were just a little too $$ in Pittaburgh area. (And almost unavailable here) I didn't have a dehydrator then, so grated peels without the pith and let sit on a cookie sheet on the deck. Yum!! Thank you for all your inspiring ideas and videos Heidi😇 Blessings from the islands.
Hi Heidi. GOD IS ALWAYS GOOD INDEED. Thank you so much for sharing such a great video. Tc. God bless you all always. Stay safe with family.
I learned from you on dehydrating orange peel and now its always in my homemade tea, thanks Heidi new ideas for other uses. I need to do that with lemons too, have a blessed weekend ❤
Thank you my friend!
Mary's Nest brought me to Rain Country. I am glad she recommended you. This is so interesting I plan on checking out more. God bless.
Welcome! Thanks for checking out our channel!
thank you for all this precious information. I started dehydrating orange peels but didn't know to do with them. I just found you today and am bingeing your videos. So much information! I have to watch your fabric donut for the dehydrator. It's what I was looking for. Thanks so much!
I use mine in my salmon recipes and on my plain yogurt. Also I grind my orange peels and add them to baking soda.. and sprinkle it on my carpet for a fresh clean smell. Love you and your videos!! Going to try to make your orange raisin chocolate.. sounds so yummy! Have a blessed weekend! ❤️😊
I agree. I love the flavor orange peels add to my chocolate drink and other things!
You are so awesome thank you so much for being you 🎶I wish my mom was like you(yrs ago) tho one day when I was 13 I just woke up and started cooking as if I had been doing it for yrs and my mom thought I had been sneaking lessons, lol!!!
Hi, as informative as ever, thanks. Orange/Grape Fruit/Lemon skins when burnt to ash have extremely high levels of Potassium (not as high as banana skins but still extremely high). When used as plant fertilizer (at the correct time) the ash will increase flower production which in turn will increase your fruit harvest. When added to potting mix the potassium in the ash will help grow bigger stronger roots. I used to think only phosphorus did this to roots but potassium is also important. Better to burn them outdoors or with a strong extractor fan indoors!
Naadromo
i use dried ground orange peel mixed with anis seeds to make biscottinis,or the mix orange peels and chocolate chips
I sure just love all your ideas Heidi and get to enjoy everything you have. Thank you
Thank you Wendy!
Lots of good ideas! I love drying and preserving!
I am so happy you are making this video! I actually dried some tangerine and orange peels and kept them in a jar because I wasn't sure what I needed them for but I knew that I needed them LOL.
* I call those 'flecks' instead of powder...and I started zesting too on lemons tangerines too.
I love the ideas. I’m looking forward to the soap making too.
Love the ideas. We don't have access to what I call good oranges in Western Kentucky except around the holidays and the mediocre oranges are expensive being as you are taking pot luck as to whether they will be fit to eat, so I don't have a lot of peels. I dry mine. I do love a bottle of orange vinegar for cleaning my stove, but I just use as many of the dried peels as I have to in my plain vinegar. I make apple vinegar in 5 gallon buckets, super quick by chopping up whole ground fall ugly apples from wherever I can get them. I set the bucket by the cattle watering trough I use to collect water for my plants and dip out what I need. Remember this is for laundry and floors etc.; no need to be picky. I have done it long enough I can eyeball a little sugar to jump start it and it's off and running. Truly as close to something for nothing as I'll ever get. You have inspired me to make a lemon flavoring. I needed some last night and all I had was a lemon!
Going to have to try the orange in my yogurt ice cream recipe !
New favorite CZcamsr. Thanks for the info !
This was amazing & you’re super awesome thank you!
Love the outfit coordination !! 🍊
😊
Such great ideas!
Great video, thanks. I also don't mind the pith on my dehydrated oranges/lemons but when I find a nice big box of large citrus fruits with thick piths...I'll grab the opportunity to process them for the pith, dehydrated and powdered, it makes a really nice natural pectin for jams/jelly. Although I prefer to freeze my zest. I also like to keep dehydrated zest on hand as well as powdered. Something magical happens to a Lemon dish made with rehydrated zest and powder together.
Thank You ! You are so helpful !😎 God Bless You and your Family 🕊️🙂
Thanks so much. Got a lot of oranges we need to work up. Will do the orange peels and powder them. Love all your ideals. You are thinking out of the box.
Thank you
Some great tips and ideas
Mille mercis!!!
Blessings +++!!!
The white bit if fruit breaks down blockages in your system I just learnt from the Fullerton informer.
sir did it remove your blockage
Greetings from East Texas! Great video! I learned so much from your videos
Thanks so much! 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Heidi, Great video very much enjoyed. Blessings and take care. Mary
Great idea
Homemade wine 👀👏🏾❤️ and you have so much information thank you 😍
Wow again ! Great tips , my citrus vinigar is abt ready to use . Now I can do other things citrus . God richly bless you both .
Love this.
I was looking for a "rainy country" 's perspective on pomegranate peels but I cannot find it. I loved the way you talked about orange peels (and your english is so clear for me, a non english speaker). I wish I was close enough to your home to gift you tons of organic citrus fruits (except for limes, I do not have them in my tiny but packed yard, our climate is not the best for them). If there is some pomegranate peels video I missed, someone let me know please. Hugs to the entire community from Italy
Sorry, I do not have anything on pomegranate peels. That is something I very rarely buy and I know they are super bitter so I have not looked into them
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you for taking the time to answer! Have a great day :)
Great ideas! I’ve never tried making orange powder but have used the peels in vinegar
Thank you, Heidi. 😃
Thank you for more ideas on using peels. I have a variety of citrus and I am looking for as many ways as I can to put them to work for me. I have 2 gallons of lemon peels I am making into vinegar. I am looking forward to using it. Again thank you for sharing.
Tarragon and orange peel tea is one of my nighttime favorites ❤😊
I love that you used orange accents in your clothing! And I love your wonderful informative videos! You make it hard for me to be patient for my return to the farm!
I shot this the day before Mother's day and dressed that way on purpose but the crazy thing was my son and his girlfriend showed up with those flowers just before I was ready to shoot having no idea I was going to be wearing orange! He said "Did you know what we were bringing and dress to match?" haha
@@RainCountryHomestead Nice coincidence! Things came together like it was meant to be!
Loved it 🌸
Amazing
great thanks so much
great video thanks bro
Today my dehydrator contains 2 trays onions, apple slices, sweet potato, canned mixed vegetables, sliced tomato, and sliced beets.
Ive got a huge citrus tree I use it to add pectin to jam I can. Im going to dehydrate some peel first then try it for canning
That’s great.
You can make orange vanndy peel as well by covering it with powdered sugar gets the kids to eat they peel.
Underrated. You mentioned organic
You look so beautiful today. Thank you for this video.
The non-organic orange peel I use it as a insecticide. I boil the peels in water, when cools spray my plants with this water.
This is great! I know many pests do not like citrus, I may have to add this to my homemade bug spray. I use many herbs from the garden that bugs do not like to cover all of them (catnip, garlic, peppermint, and so on) plus some neem oil and a little peppermint soap
@@RainCountryHomestead Yes, I saw your video about this. Thanks for all the information you share.
I have never not found your vids helpful! thanks heidi, I have only ever boringly candied my orange peel, but now......look out!
Haha! I realize how many things I even forgot to mention, such as using them to flavor plain yogurt! So good!
Thanks the imfo God bles
I use orange or lemon powder in a salt or sugar scrub!
I make candied ginger for my little grandkids (it seems spicy to me for little kids, but they love it), and I've tried replacing some fresh mandarin juice & zest for some of the water, but it doesn't add much of an orange flavor. I bet this dried peel would really add a lot of yummy taste! Who ever tries it FIRST can post it, okay??? Thanks so much for all your wonderful videos & your GREAT upbeat attitude. Blessings to you ALL!

We just received organic mandarin oranges from Sam Putts Citrus farm in Bakersfield, California. They deliver also
I get them now from Misfits Market
I will have to branch out with my orange peel uses. I have orange clove vinegar and orange peel in my jet fueled latte.
i do make marmarlad of orengers and candy from the peel as well so delicius am going to try making a orang vinegar as well;)
Pith is nutrient dense
I do pretty much the same with my citrus peels. I'm looking at my orange peel and my lemon peel vinegars as I type. I'm so proud of my last few batches. They grew HUGE mothers! I don't have luck with alot of Mother in my citrus stuff for some reason. Thx for sharing, Heidi!👍💕
I steep Mandarin peel (for months) in my port, musket, and whisky.. Mandarin is the king of citrus peel. And they're organic because I grow my own.
Nice video of the many uses for Orange peels. really useful information. Watched the video till it's conclusion.New here
Welcome to this community!
Your skin and hair is absolutely beautiful! You are so very creative! I can’t wait to try your orange peel vinegar! Thank you for sharing! Love ❤️ Sekhmet SapphyreSun❤️😻🙏🏾
Thank you so much!
Rain Country you are so very welcome, I love ❤️ your personality, content and you are beautiful inside out! Love ❤️ Sekhmet SapphyreSun❤️😻🙏🏾
Hi there. When looking for uses for orange peels, you were my go-to. I see what looks like orange oil in the thumb nail, is that correct? Do you have a video for it? Because I love the scent of citrus, I want to use it as a body oil.
Also, because I can't fathom adding another electric appliance to my little apartment, I simply put the peels I had in the sun to dehydrate. We're in Texas, and we got some nice warm days last week. I finally remembered to put the peels outside. Now I have some grinding to do.
Thank you for all the time and work you put in to make your content. You're very much appreciated 🥰
No, it is not orange oil but am pretty sure I explained what it was in the video if you get a change to watch it.
If you are wanting the vitamin C to stay intact, I do not recommend drying in the sun or at a high heat. I rarely do any on my electric dehydrators but rather on the rack close to my wood stove. They dry quite nicely there and I know I am able to preserve that vitamin C better that way. If I use them in teas though, the C will be lost but more quercetin is released
Yum :)
Hmmm! More inspiring ideas from Heidi's "lab"! :-)
And the comments are pretty inspiring too! :-)
"Heidi's Lab" I like that! haha :D
👏👏👏
You are probably one of the most knowledgeable people in this particular community on CZcams. For me though, it's just TMI. I wanted to know about what I might be able to do to use orange peels rather than trashing them....I didn't learn anything because it's just overwhelming. It's like I'm drowning 😫
Some people really appreciate the fact that I give a good many options rather than just doing a video on only one or two. If it is too much, you have a couple of options: pick a slower play back speed and take notes or only pick out one or two things that work best for you and forget the rest. These video take a lot of work and hours of time just putting a single one of them together. Complaining about getting too much information over something that cost you nothing but the time to listen does nothing to help either you or me any more than those I get that complain I am not giving them enough. I am always working on improving my presentation but I will also do what I think is best for the general public. I will NEVER please everyone though, no matter how hard I try and stress myself out over it....

You take yourself wayyy too seriously... You don't have many unexpected thoughts, do you? 😏 Didn't mean to cause you to have a full-blown comeapart. 🙄
❤
All of this is really helpful. I'm curious if you've made any creams or salves with orange peels. We recently got a abundance of "Philippino limes" we call them Calamansi. They don't really have any pif. We have only been juicing them but I want to see if I can do more with them. We have over 50lbs and going to pick more next week. I'm curious if you think it would be too acidic for a body butter or nighttime face cream.
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for more great suggestions. Orange creme pie sounds amazing! I like the orange colored clothing that you are wearing for this video. After watching several of your videos I have a question. With a guess, how many canning jars do you have in total? Thanks again and have a great weekend!
I made sure to dress to match for this video. I do not get a chance to wear my orange things much! haha!
I really have no idea how many jars because I add to them every year when people give them away or I score on them at garage sales. I have LONG since lost count but I know I have a lot!
Add it to ice cream!!
Thank you Heidi, just subscribed. Your video popped up about orange peels as I have been wanting to keep them, I have frozen lemon zest and juice separately. My question is, I consume an orange or two at a time, not enough to spark up dehydrator so can I keep them somehow till I get enough? I want to make the orange chicken and will add zest to Chelsea buns when I get round to it. Thank you from Perth, Australia, originally from beautiful New Zealand.
On the rare occasions that happens (usually in the event I am going to use them for vinegar) I simply put mine in a jar in the fridge until I am ready for them
It's hard to find organic oranges in Mississippi to unless you have your own trees
Our local store has organic Cara Caras and I love them but they recently just upped the price to $3.49 per pound!
Wow.... so inspiration...I'm so far behind...
you know that pkg'd True Lemon or Lime? I'm thinking that if we use these a lot anyway, to dehydrate then grind into a fine power using a coffee grinder. I like to use these powders in my water or teas or where I want more of these flavors.
Have you researched orange piel insecticide and garden soil nourishment?
Not specifically but I toss expended orange peels from my teas, fermented citrus peel drink or vinegars in the garden.
Only practice can make experts.
And Orange Marmalade.
Do you have a video on making flavored olive oil ?
This video is a few years old so before I had better camera and lighting but I show how to make a garlic rosemary infused oil as well as the oil I use in my skin cream (though I add more herbs to the one I make now): czcams.com/video/pLNbKoY5v5c/video.html
Quick question, I am just starting dehydrating. Can you store the orange peels until you get a couple of oranges of peels or do you need to dehydrate the same day? Thanks for all your helpful, informative videos.
Yes, you can just put them in a jar or other sealed container and store in your fridge until you get enough to do what you want with them
I cannot handle sugar very well. So I don't bake sweets at all really. Any foods that would taste good with dried up orange peels? Rice maybe?
