Eating orange peel is perfectly healthy and safe, but being quite bitter, it's not the kind of food you'd want to eat in large quantities.

There are some facts about the nutritional value that skin contains.

The main nutrient in orange peel is vitamin C. The peel also contains other nutrients such as copper, potassium, calcium, small amounts of magnesium and vitamins B1, B5 and B6.

Although you are unlikely to get significant amounts of magnesium or phosphorus from eating orange peels, you can get adequate amounts of potassium and calcium.

Potassium is important for cardiovascular health and, along with calcium, is also necessary for bone health. If you prefer, you can shred the orange peel and use it to flavor teas, water and various drinks.
