Regarding citrus peels now - I think there was posted an article recnetly about some horrid stuff called “Apeel” which is connected (of course) with Bill Gates-of-Hell, a petro-chemical brew that fruits and maybe smooth vegetables are or will be dunked in to “keep them fresh”. I meant to look into this more. I have noticed lately that citrus that I buy feels greasy and weird. I normally save finely minced peels for flavoring foods. I don’t any more, until I find out what’s going on. I think the best bet would be to thoroughly wash with detergent and very warm water, and scrub vigorously with a brush, before cutting up and using.

We always have lemon and lime, although we throughly wash (with soap) every fruit or vegetables that we buy, I heard Gates was bragging that apeel could not be washed off? Guess we better find out before ingesting any.

If I lived in a climate where citrus grew, I’d grow some. Maybe if you can find local citrus and get it before processed... I’ll try to find out about the apeel and let you know.
If you don’t have your own trees, you can get untreated citrus at local Farmers’ Markets or at Sprouts or Mothers markets.
