[Sca-cooks] weight of orange peel

[Olwen the Odd]

Good morning all.  Well, I got a California navel orange (not the kind with
the really fat peel) and I peeled and scraped the skin.  It weighed just
under an ounce.  I prepared the peel and dried it and rolled it in sugar
and, surprize, it weighed the same.  So.  The answer to the question is,
just shy of one ounce.  I would have thought it would weigh more after all
the sugar was added.  I guess I never really thought how much the oils and
water content weighed.
