STOP throwing out lemon peels 😤

EP 65 Scrappy Cooking: Lemon Peel Powder Recipe
Did you know lemon peels are packed with vitamin C and entirely edible? Don’t throw them out! After you’ve peeled your lemons, store in the freezer, then when you’re ready, dehydrate them either in the sun, or on the lowest setting of your oven until they are hard to the touch. Blend them up and you have lemon peel powder (similar to lemon zest). You can add a tablespoon of that lemon peel powder to 1/2 cup of salt for lemon salt (or the same with pepper)! This adds a beautiful citrus note to things like pasta, stir fries and more. ENJOY

You can also do this to make incense if youre interested in that stuff!! I use my leftover orange peels constantly to make them. I’d imagine lemon works too lol

[@PlantYou]

I love that ❤

[@ryanamari2233]

How would that work…incense is typically burned …and is in stick or match form..the ones I’ve seen

[@meepmorp2904]

@@ryanamari2233there’s loose incense too! They have products where your burn charcoal and the loose incense. Or you can make the powder into cones

[@erenyeageriscringe7661]

@@ryanamari2233 There’s a powder version

[@raraaavis]

@@ryanamari2233 You can make candied lemon or orange peel, which we add to desserts,so that works too ;)

[@sandracarli1110]

I freeze lemon peels because they retain more flavor. Then I blend 1 tsp with the liquid needed for a cake or smoothie.

[@bodyofhope]

I use the entire used lemon to make preserved lemons. Peels and all. Just need lots of salt and save a lemon for its juice. They're ready in a few weeks! I just added a chopped up preserved lemon to wilted greens and mushrooms and it packed so much FLAVOR!

[@Joyce-yw4no]

Actually u can sprinkle a little lemon juice on most anything you cook and it will enhance the flavor but don't over do it or you'll totally change the flavor of your meal.

[@anelise1611]

One of my favourite series!! Glad you posted another one:)

[@PlantYou]

I'm so glad!

[@user-ys6dr8ub2i]

​@@PlantYou hey can we make this with limes???

[@Joyce-yw4no]

I'm sure you do limes the same way if the recipe even exist, if not youll be fine using the lemons.

[@stevenlee2528]

Genius. Gonna try this! Thanks

[@danielfox3399]

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH!!!! THANK YOU!

[@JenniferJoness]

You could also make a tincture with the lemon peel. It has tons of healing properties.

[@susiealverson1]

What would you add to the lemon peel to make a tincture?

[@audreymcbee5008]

Thank you so much. Love your channel! ♥️😇🕊🙏

[@josephinestylist3766]

Your amazing I bought your book so excited 🎉❤❤❤😊

[@plat1691]

You can add ground pepper instead of salt to make a good Lemmon pepper seasoning for chicken

[@littlePixelHadaSong]

Why would you write such a comment on vegan channel?

[@shayolinparker2934]

​@@littlePixelHadaSongbecause people who aren't vegan will see their comment. I watch a lot of cooking content and sometimes it's from vegan channels and sometimes not.

[@susiealverson1]

GREAT idea I use a lot of store bought lemon pepper. Definitely going to try this.

[@susiealverson1]

Glad you like them!❤

[@fairholmka]

Doesn't the inner white part make it really bitter? I've ruined cookies with store bought dried orange peel and a keylime pie with lime zest. Normally when you're zesting you just take the very top layer right?

[@GPXgirl]

Yes, the white or pith as it is called. Is extremely bitter if not cooked correctly. Like if it’s candied, it’s OK and not bitter. So it is good when using a citrus zester to only take off the top layer and avoid the white part.

[@mariap.894]

The white part is an anticancer food😮

[@RayAnnetteP]

Scape the pithe,, with a spoon to remove the pithe.​@@GPXgirl

Tips for non organic lemonpeels?

[@Jcr2446]

Lemon cake here i come!!

[@NikkiMarie22]

You can also make lemon peel tea

[@divyashashidhar367]

U can make the same thing but with orange and use it for ur face

[@92eev]

Make sure they’re organic though 😊

[@crustyflatonion9595]

Organic has organic bug killers just as bad, if not worse than traditional pesticides. Unfortunately this is the misconception of organic food. Use any fruit you like, but wash the hell out of it.

[@sannahbouchet4893]

I should be able to do this with lime skins too?

[@CarBitGTSaxen]

Would it work as a tea?

[@stevewilson8752]

Great Idea 👏😝🇦🇺👍

[@Yaboijw]

What blender do you use

[@rwillems]

I usually save my citrus peals by the disposable to freshen it up. I just dry them out and plop them in.

[@laurel1865]

Do you heat the lemon peels?

[@rmsony7]

You're a genius

[@cyderiatheowl3953]

I do this with orange peels for sugar 🙂

[@eileengleeson7851]

Genius 😎

[@TheKonnoisseur11]

Lemon candy too

[@junior1384949]

Margarita salt

[@HowdyYalll]

I’m never throwing anything out again 😍♻️

[@venusvs9677]

it won’t be bitter?

[@MaryDavidson911]

Can I ask, do you have a way to find out if the outside of these lemons have that gross “lac bug” stuff on it? They use it to keep it from spoiling earlier. And some use beeswax. But I am more concerned about the “lac bug“ coating. Thank you.

[@bodyofhope]

You can par boil your lemons whole, and wipe them off with a rough cloth. That's how I process/clean waxy fruit. A quick dunk in boiling water does the trick.

[@ryanamari2233]

Lemons limes oranges grapefruits …citrus

[@Idk10704]

How long would this last? I have a lemon tree with a ridiculous amount of lemons and would love to make this and give as gifts to neighbors and such.

[@the.cityofgod]

i think it will last for a long time, since the peel is dehydrated. it's all about the storing method

[@D1_lamine_Yamal_glazer]

She kept i lemon 🍋🍋

[@eveseves4614]

Do you just mix it in a pan with cooked noodles?

[@PlantYou]

No I would add it to an Alfredo style cashew sauce for a lemon pasta

[@tthebearybearss]

i’m just gonna use dehydrated lemon peel dust to make spell jars with but ok

[@T0mtoma]

Ooo that’s smart

[@PlantYou]

Thank you!

[@genevieveandmimi]

I made lemonade and just threw away the peels

[@francesmaurer185]

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@minverse.]

That would be great only if I had a dehydrator

[@maddie-1]

you literally just put them in an oven

[@PlantYou]

You can do it in your oven. Just set it to the lowest temperature

[@CarolineAlexis]

Why did I know that this was going to be lemon peel powder

[@bboice08]

Yes🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😊😊😊😊

[@jbi1839]

The white parts are bitter

[@pureheartedassassin8865]

This reminds me... We used to have dried lemon peel near windows (to block demons from entering) so one time I saw the lemon peel and I was a kid I was crying hysterically because it looks like a dried dead mouse. This video just unlocked that memory

[@jessieortiz4432]

Lemon pepper

[@sanam8819]

Does the powder get bitter bc of the rind?

[@PlantYou]

No it’s citrusy almost like lemon zest. You can remove the rind if concerned!

[@iamreborn3463]

Ok I will just grab my trusty dehydrator no worries

[@wge621]

Haha, you can also use an air fryer!

[@PlantYou]

You can dehydrate in the sun, counter, or in the lowest temperature setting in your oven :)

[@clip012]

With pesticide.

[@VEGGIEIB]

Use Organic only.

[@User-17429]

Keep it lemon

[@reichykids]

Or you can make lemon zest

[@itsallgood3706]

🤌

[@iyouitry]

But lemon 🍋 skin has artificial wax

[@8schopra]

cool doesn't it give a bitter taste

[@susiealverson1]

Some have responded to your question by saying they don’t scrape off or blend the white part.

[@danaali6613]

I just eat them

[@oresttheproto]

All of these "non-wasting-food" chefs are like: "oh just put it on a tray and dehydrate it!" Do you really think it's that simple? Who has a damn dehydrator lying around?! lol

[@RioRav]

Well you can use an oven or just any warm place like top of fridge or floor heating in bathroom

[@oresttheproto]

@@RioRav well yeah lol didnt realize that
