Sometime fruit and vegetable waste can positively effect your general health, so do not throw it away, but learn how to use it wisely.

Orange peel
Orange peel contains four times more fiber than the fruit itself. It also contains more flavonoids, such as tangeretin and nobiletin, which have anticancer and anti-inflammatory effect, and prevent diabetes.

A study showed that orange peel is more powerful in reducing bad cholesterol, compared to some drugs.

Spinach Stalks
A study conducted in the German Institute for Food Technologies showed that spinach stalks contain more glutamine, an amino acid which strengthens the immune system and stimulates the body’s ability to recover after an injury or an operation.
