Amazing home use uses of fruit peels that I learned about not so long ago! 6 practical examples

I want to believe that you are planning to celebrate this New Year in the same way as the previous one? With a richly set table bursting with all kinds of food and delicacies? Koi will be the result of your incredible efforts to process “tons” of vegetables, fruits... and other products. What does that mean?

Good afternoon dear friends!

That's right - a lot of waste, including the peel, which will most likely go to the trash bin in a direct course! It is so? But in vain! Earlier, I recklessly did the same, not knowing that the peel can be useful in everyday life. Therefore, now, before throwing anything away, I think: "Isn't it possible to give this a second life, like, for example, clothes or furniture!" And only after I take out the trash.

By the way, such a step, among other things, allows me to save a lot, since the purchase of cleaning and cosmetic products, as well as flavorings, takes a lot of money from the family budget.

In general, I will not rant for a long time, but I will introduce you

6 ways to use fruit "crusts" in your daily life that I just learned about.

1.Degreasing of surfaces. You've probably seen ads for cleaning products that mention that they use natural lemon juice. And it's not in vain that such a bright accent is made on this! Because lemon juice is excellent at removing grease from a wide variety of surfaces.

So, for example, to clean a cutting board or countertop, you need to sprinkle it with a little salt or soda, and then rub with the already used part of the lemon. By the way, the same trick will help you clean the microwave. But it should not be used on marble, as white traces may remain.

2.Cooking citrus sugar. Want to try natural flavored tea? Easy! The only thing is that you have to work a little with pens and grate the peel of an orange or lemon, and then add it to the sugar bowl. As a result, after a while the essential oils from the zest will saturate the granulated sugar and make it truly fragrant.

Now citrus sugar can be safely added to a cup of tea. The taste will be crazy, in the best sense of the word!

3.Washing the coffee maker. And this is an extremely relevant topic for fans of natural coffee. For it is not so easy to clean the inside of a glass coffee pot. And on top of that, it is advisable to use a completely safe product that costs from 250 to 1000 rubles. Which is not so little!

So, again, a lemon will come to your aid, or, more precisely, its zest. Put it in an empty coffee pot, add ice cubes and salt, and then start the coffee maker and "cook" everything for about 2 minutes. Then rinse the pot well with running water and it will shine like new.

4.Making pepper with lemon flavor. Lemon pepper is a fairly popular seasoning for festive dishes. It turns out to be very easy to make! You just need to mix salt (table or sea), ground black pepper and dried crushed lemon zest. And, actually, everything!

As for the proportions, then be guided by your taste! By the way, this seasoning is best suited to fish dishes, grilled meats and vegetable salads.

5.Cleaning the kettle. Do you constantly buy citric acid for descaling? Waste your money! Since you can also clean it with lemon peels! To do this, you need to put water in a kettle, add a handful of lemon peel and boil everything together. And after boiling the kettle, leave it for at least one hour.

Everything, after a while, free the kettle from the citrus peel and rinse well with cold water.

6.Stir in citrus-flavored oil. How do you feel about the aromatic, delicious salad dressing? Positively! Then I suggest that you first grind the lemon and orange peels in a mortar with a pestle. And then put them in a jar and pour olive oil into it. Let the mixture settle for about 6 hours and only then remove the peel from it using a colander. The fragrant oil is ready!

You can safely fill your favorite dishes with it. Which, after such a dressing, will become even tastier and will be eaten in an instant.
