I have found dried orange peel in Indian stores, but not recently - as well
as dried lemon peel. I've not seen any lately, so

I have started buying the whole orange slices (organic, maybe) in Trader
Joe's. They have the peel intact with the inside, but one could use just
the peel - in a pinch. Or perhaps the whole slice, depending on what you
are making. I put it in with cranberries and apples.
