7 Incredible Uses for Orange Peels That You Were Going to Trash

The problem with oranges is that most of us stop thinking of them as useful once we've eaten the juicy flesh. All we're left with is a handful of orange peels. Most of us just toss those in the trash and move on about our day. We really shouldn't be doing that because there is still a lot of good left in those incredible orange peels.

Those tiny little bits of zest can go a long way in bringing out the flavors of roasted meats and vegetables. Heck, you can even make candy out of those old orange peels but these ideas are just scratching the surface when it comes to what you could use your old orange peels for.
