Orange peels without the pith (the white part) is used in cooking and Frostings all the time!. Yes it is good for you per the other answerers!. Just eating it off the orange, would be quite bitter tasting due to the white pith!. It is often cooked in a sugar water until soft, then the water is changed and re done!. When the 2nd cooking is done, they are tossed with sugar until they cannot absorb more sugar!. These are called Candied Orange Peels!. Wonderful used in homemade jams and preserves, and just dipped in melted choc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can eat them but they taste like crap!. They are full of anti oxidants, so I usually blend them in a smoothie, that way you can't really taste them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
