What it is

Orange peel and pulp are parts of the orange fruit. The peel, also called the rind, is the outer zest and the white pith underneath. The pulp is the juicy, fleshy interior of the fruit. Both are used in food, often dried or processed.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use orange peel and pulp to add a distinct citrus flavor and aroma to foods. They can also contribute to texture and color. You'll find them in baked goods like cakes and cookies, confectionery, beverages, and savory dishes.

Health notes

Orange peel and pulp are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of dietary fiber and certain vitamins. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated orange products, but no specific health concerns are associated with their typical consumption in foods.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Orange is a fruit.
