🍊Tangerine peel 陈皮
🍊Tangerine peel, aka "Chen Pi" has a lengthy history in TCM usage and also used as an ingredient in cooking. It has the fresh citrus peel's aroma with a hint of sweetness and slight bitterness.
It is often used to treat indigestion, diarrhoea, vomiting and other forms of digestive issues, including certain types of coughs (specifically, wet coughs with excessive phlegm production).
Many of us tend to get confused with orange peels and tangerine peels; it is easy to purchase it off the shelf, people start making their own dried tangerine peels at home to enjoy the benefits. However, we should be aware that boiling fresh tangerine peels will not bring out the same benefits as the dried ones as its contents would change over the process of ageing. It needs to be dried for at least 3 years and above in a specific environment to be used as TCM herbs and bring out its benefit.
We have included Tangerine Peels as one of the key ingredients in 😋 The Overeater to help with digestion and bring a pleasant citrus aroma to the blend!
很多人都认为，陈皮就是老旧的橙皮，可中医里的陈皮其实指的是老旧了的黄橘皮，用的是成熟的黄橘皮而不是橙皮。
《本草纲目》记载，陈皮又称黄橘皮。味苦，辛，无毒。主治胸中逆气，助消化下气，开胃，治咳嗽，吐逆霍乱，疗脾不能消谷，止泻，利小便，清痰。
因为橘子皮极度普遍化，许多人开始自制陈皮，或用新鲜橘子皮泡水，但这些做法都是极为有风险的，新鲜橘子皮泡水因成分不同，并不会达成与老陈皮一样的的益处，而自制陈皮因家中的条件有限，也有可能不能保证它成为陈皮后的效用。而且并不是干了的橘皮就能成为陈皮哦，它至少要有在合适的环境里风干3年以上，才能成为陈皮。
启茶的小吃货😋里含有陈皮的成分，除了取其助消化去胀气的功效，也增添清香的果味。
