To eat citrus peels

[AlrightyyThen]

And surely I can’t be the only one who does it 😂

If I eat an orange I will eat the peel afterwards, if there is a slice of lemon/lime in a drink then I’ll eat that with the peel on.

My friends think I’m mad as a box of frogs but I like the way it tastes? AIBU

Ugh, that’s made me feel a bit ill. The taste! The texture!

My DD only eats the peels. She gives the fruit to me.

My husband eats whole wedges of lemons and limes skin and all.

You probably shouldn't - they have wax and possibly chemicals on - that's why you can buy wax-free oranges for marmalade, making crystallised orange peel etc. But I do it too.

I do the same.

I used to like lemon rind as a child, but not now.

The wax would put me off, but I do use unwacxed lemon and grate them, so it's no different really!

Do you eat kiwi skin? I do and my whole family thinks I'm a wrong'un.

I eat the pith (white piece) from orange skin

Yes, and apple cores. Orange peel is my favourite part of the fruit!

YABU! They are treated with anti-fungals. Also one of the worst fruits for being contaminated with pesticides but it’s ok as long as you don’t eat the skin!

The texture must be horrible! I do grate the zest into things I'm cooking/baking but couldn't imagine actually chomping through that thick white bit!

You are unreasonable and grim (you did ask).

Please at least buy organic unwaxed!

We live in Spain and have a lemon tree in the garden. So definitely organic and no wax. DD picks one and eats it whole like people eat apples.
