Ya know, Winner, I actually have a tangerine staring me in the face, sitting right next to me on my bed. I might just have to eat that thing in it's entirety.



Of course, that's after I wash it off or fumigate it or something (guess not fumitgation, dah..) 'cause my dog thought it was a ball for a while and carried it around! LOL.



Thanks for posting this. Bright vegetables and apparently brightly colored fruits are frequently cited as anticarcinogens. I try to include these in our families diet fairly regularly.

I worked in the past with a prostate cancer researcher and I bet 10 yrs ago he was touting the peels may have an enzyme that may prevent some cancers.  I actually have eaten them but on an irregular basis.  Although bitter my mouth feels a bit refreshed from the citrus breath that lingers.

I'm still mulling this new fact.

Yesterday I baked hake.

I popped it into a large pan, herbed and spiced it, and squeezed an entire lemon over it.Then I covered it w/foil and baked it slowly, for about an hour.

The lemon peel was cooked in the juice .It was soft and herb-flavored.

I ate it, thinking I should have used a tangerine!

Short of candying it, can anyone tell me any good ways to fix tangerine peel?

(And, more importantly, are the benefits lost if not raw?

I can eat tangerine peel, but not, say, a whole peel.)

Thanks!
