Is it normal to eat orange peel?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes—orange peel is edible, and plenty of people use it in zest, marmalade, or candied peel. Eating it plain is less common because it can be bitter and chewy.
Orange peel is edible, though the white pith can taste bitter and the outer skin is often tough. Some people enjoy eating it as-is; it’s also used in cooking, baking, and candying.
Give the orange a good rinse under running water first. If you don’t like the bitter, chewy experience, zesting a little into food is the more popular way to enjoy it.
