If we put a little orange peel and salt in a mug, we will achieve a surprising result. Here is which one.
In Italy, we have many types of fruit that grow in our regions, which have become real specialties of some regions, and many of them are citrus fruits, such as oranges.
This citrus fruit can be found in the market in many of its varieties, such as Tarocco, Navelina , commonly called Navel, Tarocco Gallo , Moro, Sanguinello , Tarocco Nocellare and Washington Navel .
An orange: what happens when we put its peel in a cup of salt
The area where most oranges are grown in Italy is Sicily, and Sicilian oranges are the envy of the whole world because of their unique and unmistakable taste, which is also beneficial for health.
In fact, whenever we find ourselves without energy and have a cold, the dose of vitamin C that we get from drinking orange juice gives us energy.
It is no coincidence that in medicines that help us gain strength, but also in those against flu and infections, we often find orange among the ingredients , because it helps our immune system to defend itself against diseases.
During this period, with the Christmas holidays, oranges are very widespread and you can easily find them on the table at Christmas and New Year dinners as one of the most consumed fruits.
Their unmistakable fragrance is often associated with this period, and thanks to the use of some elements of orange, this citrus fruit is also often used to decorate your home.
Although some tend to dry the circular orange slices and then use them as ornaments on trees, others tend to use only the peel of this citrus fruit to make personalized decorations .
However, others tend to place the peel in the sink or on the radiator to ensure that the essential oils are released and the fragrance spreads throughout the house.
A method that few people know
But few people know that with the addition of salt , these peels are an excellent ally in solving a big problem that could occur on the cups used for our breakfast or coffee cups .
It often happens to us when drinking in the morning or while sipping coffee that despite a good washing of the dishes, the cup remains dirty and with stains.
This can happen when we use chocolate or barley with milk or when coffee tends to leave brownish marks that cannot be removed even after many washes.
If we put salt in a mug and use an orange peel to rub it on the walls of the mug , we will see how this excess dirt is removed as if by a magic wand.
The cup will be completely clean and free of residue and we can then rinse it and then use it again to sip our drink .
This method can also be used on other dishes as salt with the help of orange peel tends to degrease and remove excess dirt without having to spend money on industrial products.
