Tangerine, also known as tangerine, is a citrus fruit rich in vitamins A, C and B complex. Its harvest period runs from May to September, with emphasis on the winter period.<\/p>\n

A very important piece of information about tangerine, which a large part of the population is unaware of, is that its peel is much richer in calcium, iron, potassium and fiber than the skin itself. fruit pulp.<\/p>\n

10.38 grams of fiber;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
These amounts present in the fruit peel are equivalent to 60%, 32%, 30% and 35%, respectively, of the recommended daily intake (the amount we should ingest of each nutrient so that our body's functions remain stable) for each of these nutrients.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, these same nutrients in the fruit pulp are found in the following quantity (in 100 grams):<\/p>\n
\n
13 mg of calcium;<\/li>\n
0.1 mg of iron;<\/li>\n
131 mg of potassium;<\/li>\n
0.9 grams of fiber<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The percentage of recommended daily intake covered by the pulp is then 1.6%, 6%, 6.6% and 3.03%, respectively.<\/p>\n
A big difference, right?<\/p>\n
After this information we can notice that we throw in the trash a part of the fruit, full of nutrients that could enrich our diet. So, from now on, don't throw away the gossip shells anymore. Use them to make a delicious sweet treat below:<\/p>\n
