I love to eat a tangerine and then its peel. Is it harmful?
It is better not to, explained hygienist Julia MASYUKEVICH.
The peel itself is a source of beneficial essential oils, organic acids, and flavonoids, but it is important to remember that the peels of imported tangerines may contain residues of pesticides and chemicals used for transportation. Therefore, it is better to eat only peeled fruits.
