Tangerines are tasty and healthy fruits that adults and children love. However, experienced housewives know that the peel of the fruit should not be thrown away.

The fact is that even it can be used in everyday life and cooking.

Insect repellent

The smell of citrus fruits is not liked by many pests, for example, moths and ants. This means that it is enough to spread the peels in places where insects most often appear to scare them away.

Air freshener

Fresh peels can be used as a base for natural flavoring.

They need to be crushed and mixed with spices (cloves, cinnamon or bay leaf), and then containers with this product should be placed around the rooms.

Tea additive

Some people make tea more tasty and aromatic by adding crushed peel. It should be mixed with honey and ginger, and then poured with boiling water.

Additional ingredient for baking

Just grate the zest and mix it into the dough to get not only a tasty, but also a very aromatic pie.
