"Orange Peels Found to Boost Heart Health, UF Study Reveals"
Researchers at the University of Florida and the USDA have discovered that orange peels contain a bioactive compound called feruloylputrescine (FP), which may benefit heart health by reducing inflammation and cardiovascular disease biomarkers. Experiments on mice showed that FP can lower levels of harmful metabolites linked to heart disease, even when consuming a high-fat diet. This finding suggests that orange peels, often discarded, could be a valuable source of nutrients and antioxidants for human health.
