Tangerine Peel

Dried tangerine peel, once hydrated in dishes, softens and releases its aromatic oils, imparting a bright, citrusy depth that transforms the flavor profile. Fully edible when rehydrated, it is commonly used in dishes like Chinese Braised Beef, Tangerine Peel and Red Bean Soup, and herbal teas. Its presence adds a subtle bitterness and tang that balances rich, sweet, or savory ingredients. Try adding these to BBQ marinades and other Western dishes and be surprised at how this simple ingredient elevates it.
