Medicinal Treat: Chocolate-Drizzled Dried Oranges
By using the whole orange—including the peel—you’re unlocking a range of health benefits! Even when dried, oranges retain essential minerals and vitamins like potassium, magnesium, and immune-boosting vitamin C.
In Eastern medicine, orange peel is traditionally used to aid digestion by stimulating gastric juices, making it helpful for IBS and reducing nausea from overeating. Recent studies also suggest it may help regulate cholesterol and lipid levels, supporting metabolic health.
How to make it:
✨ Slice homegrown oranges thinly and dehydrate for a day
✨ Melt cacao butter, cacao powder, and maple syrup in a double boiler
✨ Drizzle the chocolate over the dried orange slices
A slightly sweet, chewy, and delicious medicinal treat that nourishes your body while satisfying your cravings!
