Bitter Orange Peel

Used to spice Belgian style beers, especially Witbiers. This is the bitter type of orange peels, not the sweet type. The various preparations of the orange are used largely as flavoring agents. They are slightly bitter and stomachic. The aromatic elixir is an excellent flavoring agent and vehicle for liquid medicines. Bitter orange is also used in herbal medicine as a stimulant and appetite suppressant, and has replaced the banned stimulant ephedra in many herbal weight-loss products
