Tangerine peel is not only particular about the vintage, but also a secret of origin. In the process of purchasing, the three classifications of green skin, two red, and big red are even more dazzling.
Green skin: green and unripe, but hidden mysteries
The green peel is the peel of the Xinhui orange when it is not yet ripe, and the color is green, like a young girl. After drying, the green skin has a blue-brown to blue-black appearance, an obvious oil chamber, and a fragrant smell, like mint. Although it is not commonly used, when staying up late or when the liver qi is stagnant, Qingpi is a right-hand man.
Erhong: Half-cooked beauty, versatile
Erhong, which is the stage when Xinhui mandarin orange begins to color but is not fully ripe, is yellow-green in color. After drying, the two red skin has a brownish yellow to tan brown appearance, and the density of the oil chamber is slightly lower, but the taste is mellow after aging, sweet and sour. This tangerine peel is suitable for daily cooking, tea drinking, and soup, and is versatile and relatively resistant to storage.
Big Red: Red through half the sky, the sweetest taste
Da Hong is the stage when the Xinhui mandarin orange is fully ripe and the skin is yellow-red to bright red. After drying, the large red skin has a brownish-red to reddish-black appearance, and the oil chamber is large and concave, and the wrinkles are obvious. The taste of the big red skin is the sweetest and mellow, like a ripe fruit, sweet but not greasy. It's perfect for treating yourself once in a while and enjoying that moment of sweetness.
Choosing tangerine peel is like choosing a partner
When storage space is limited, Erhongpi is your best choice. It is somewhere between green and red, with both the fragrance of green skin and the sweetness of big red skin. As the aging years increase, its effect gradually approaches that of the big red skin. And the green skin, two red, big red, the three have their own merits, if conditions allow, you may wish to prepare some, so that your life is more colorful.
