At the dacha, dried tangerine peels will be irreplaceable in summer.

This new year we met in the company of relatives, not just family members. In the summer we went to visit him, and for the new year invited him to stay. It is a pity that there is not enough snow and we still could not go skiing, as in childhood. Well, okay, but plenty of fun.

Even from guests sometimes I get all sorts of usefulness for articles. The husband of my cousin, seeing that I was throwing away all the tangerine peels, was very indignant. When I said that I didn’t dry it, since we drank compotes from tangerine peels as a child, he surprised me with a question.

- And what have compotes got to do with it? And you that besides compotes do not know which of them you can make? You seem to have a dacha, you said. So in the country, these crusts are simply irreplaceable!

Yes. In addition to compotes, I tried to grind these crusts in a coffee grinder and add them to confectionery products for flavoring. Delicious, of course, but I prefer cinnamon, poppy seeds and other similar additives, but not tangerine peel flour. It turns out that men appreciate them for something completely different.

At the table, it means that when we were peeling tangerines, Sasha showed how best to peel them - in thin long strips.

You need to dry and store them in the same form later. So as not to break and shorten, you can either put it in a container or in a high jar. So someone may now write in the comments that you are saving up garbage, but it will be oh, how wrong.

At this point I would like to ask a question to readers, especially men - how do you kindle fires and kindle baths? Could it be a liquid for ignition? Did you know these fluids are far from safe? Okay, if it's outdoors, but in the bath, the vapors remain in the room. And the fireplaces? But you can generally do without these harmful liquids and kindle a fire from the very first match. Replace with non-hazardous waste.

Tangerine peels are perfect for this, it turns out. A relative even showed me this. I was very surprised and immediately wrote to myself what should be shared on our channel. In order for the crusts to burn better, they need to be long, like birch bark. And they light up in the same way as birch bark, the first time. Sasha even said that you can drop paraffin on the crusts so that they burn longer if the wood is larger or damp. The summer season is ahead! Don't throw away the tangerine peels, they are a great way to ignite. And most importantly, it is FREE.
