Production & Sourcing
Orange peel granules are made by first sourcing fresh oranges and thoroughly washing them to remove any dirt or contaminants. The oranges are then carefully peeled, ensuring only the outer colored layer of the peel is retained, as the white pith underneath can impart bitterness. The peel is then thinly sliced or cut into small pieces and dried using low heat or dehydration methods to remove moisture while preserving its flavor and nutrients. Once fully dried, the peel pieces are further processed into granules.
