Dried Tangerine Peel (Chen Pi)

Dried Tangerine Peel (Chen Pi) is the powdered, dried peel of bitter orange (often called pommerans or chen pi in Chinese cuisine) used as a bittering and aromatic ingredient in teas, spice blends, marinades and traditional remedies. It is prized in East Asian and Mediterranean cooking for its intense citrus aroma and slightly bitter, floral flavor that concentrates the fruit's peel properties. Nutritionally it is a concentrated source of dietary fiber, providing 38g per 100g, and also supplies notable amounts of vitamin C and calcium for a dried spice product. Because it’s used in small amounts as a flavoring rather than a bulk food, those nutrients are delivered in a compact form when included in foods or drinks. From a health perspective, bitter orange peel powder is chiefly valuable for its high fiber content and for antioxidant compounds found in citrus peel (polyphenols) which can support gut health and have antioxidant activity. It’s typically a low-calorie, low-fat seasoning that can add flavor without added sugar or salt.Read more
