1. More health-promoting phytonutrients (flavanones) are found in the peel and inner white pulp of the orange than in its liquid orange center. The herperidin molecule found in the white pulpy portion of the orange molecule has been arguably singled out as the most important flavanone in oranges. It has been shown to lower high blood pressure as well as cholesterol in animal studies and to have strong anti-inflammatory properties. Pectin and other fibers found in the white layer beneath the skin of the orange can also help curb appetite and suppress hunger for up to 4 hours! And contrary to common belief, this white pulpy portion is not bitter. Because this most nutritious part of the orange is removed when oranges are juiced, it is just one more reason to select whole oranges over juice. And leave some of the white inner peel on your oranges for some of those extra nutritional benefits!
2. Pros- Can help lower cholesterol and high blood pressure. - contains phytonutrients, antioxidants, etc. - is a natural form of anti-inflammatory (example of non-natural: ibuprofen) Cons- If not washed properly then various illnesses can be received (mostly causing vomiting or diahrea).
3. no need to eat orange peels. the orange in itself, contains plenty of vitamin C. in fact, orange peels protect the inside of the orange from bacteria, so eating a peel would be more harmful than beneficial.
4. It helps you remove dark circles.
