Dried tangerine peel is rich in flavonoids, such as hesperidin, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and blood lipid-lowering effects. It also contains volatile oils like limonene, giving it a unique aroma and playing a role in promoting digestion. Additionally, it contains some vitamins (such as vitamin C, B-complex vitamins) and trace elements (including calcium, potassium, magnesium, etc.). These nutrients work together to help improve the body’s physiological functions, enhance immunity, and protect the cardiovascular system.

【Storage Methods】

• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Avoid high humidity environments to prevent the growth of mold and mildew. High humidity can cause the dried tangerine peel to become damp and spoil, affecting its quality and efficacy.
• Use airtight containers. Transfer the dried tangerine peel into sealed jars or plastic bags to protect it from moisture, air, and odors. This helps maintain its flavor and active ingredients.
• Check regularly. Periodically inspect the stored dried tangerine peel for any signs of spoilage, such as changes in color, texture, or the appearance of mold. If any problems are found, take appropriate measures promptly, such as airing it out in a well-ventilated place or discarding the affected parts.
