Peel teas: the infusion that'll make your health and wallet bubble with joy!
Imperfect vegetables are vegetables to love...right down to their last peel! And if you thought peels, tops, or cores had nothing left to offer, think again: they're full of resources.
A 100% upcycled, 100% virtuous tea
Peels often contain more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than the vegetable flesh itself. That’s how much they deserve better than the trash can or even the compost bin!
Steeped in hot water, they release all their benefits…for your body, your well-being, and your eco-conscious mind.
A concentrate of savings (and common sense)
Let’s keep it simple:
- Peels = already at your place
☕ Hot water = almost free
- Result: a healthy, zero-waste, personalized drink for about…CHF 0.0004 per cup.
You’re turning waste into an elixir. No need to be a druid: just a bit curious with a kettle within reach.

Our UglyFruits tips for top-notch infusions:
- Choose organic and thoroughly washed peels
- Air-dry them or use a low oven to always have some on hand
- Steep for 5 to 10 minutes in simmering water (not boiling to keep the nutrients!)
- Let your creativity run wild: vary, combine, invent! ?
So, ready to steep your preconceived notions?
