Prevents digestive complications
Orange peel is a rich source of non-soluble polysaccharides (type of dietary fibres) like pectins, tannins and hemi-cellulose. These compounds prevent constipation by increasing the bulk and reducing contact time of food with the intestine. It also plays an active role in reducing acidity (gas trouble) and prevents vomiting and heartburn. Read more about how poor food combinations can lead to indigestion and gas.
