Orange peel is great for you, except from distributors who like to make 
the peel "oranger" with "food coloring" to increase sales, to which a 
lot of people are allergic.  I don't appear to be allergic, but I also 
worry some about residues from insecticide and fungicide sprays.  That 
isn't enough to keep me from candying it frequently, and then eating it 
like candy, or dipped in chocolate, which is even nicer (for me) as well 
as using the chopped candied peel in baking recipes.  I have one Extreme 
Health Food recipe which is delicious, for bran muffins, which includes 
directions to run a sliced orange, complete with peel, but seeded (I use 
navel oranges, lazy about the slicing and seeding) through your blender 
or food processor, peel and all, then using the result as an ingredient. 
  I do it with lemons, too, also delicious (to me: tastes vary).
