Orange peel contains nobiletin and orange peel oil, which have cough-suppressing and phlegm-dissolving effects. These components are released from the orange peel only after steaming or boiling. Moreover, steamed oranges are especially suitable for children with persistent coughs, as they can effectively relieve coughs and moisturize the lungs.
Recipe: After washing 1-2 oranges, soak them in salt water for about 20 minutes. Make a flat cut at the top, forming a cup. Sprinkle a little salt on the exposed pulp, poke a few holes with chopsticks, and then put the cut "lid" back on. Steam the oranges in a bowl; after the water boils, steam for an additional 15 minutes. After steaming, remove the orange peel and eat the pulp.
