english grammar?

1)The outer-most layer of the rind is grated or thinly veneered with a tool called a zester, to produce orange zest, popular in cooking because it has a flavour similar to the fleshy inner part of the orange.

can i change this sentence to

The outer skin of an orange can be produced orange zest which is used to give flavour in cooking.

2)The fruit is commonly peeled and eaten fresh, or squeezed for its juice. Can i change to

Oranges can be peeled and eaten fresh or squeezed for orange juice.

Do u have any good recommendation?

History heart – for the second statement, might I suggest that you want to clarify that peeling an orange is not necessary for juicing it? In other words, instead of “Oranges are often (or commonly) peeled to be eaten fresh or squeezed to produce orange juice” you might want ‘Oranges are often peeled to be eaten fresh, or squeezed to produce orange juice.’ It’s perhaps not necessary, since oranges don’t have to be peeled to be eaten fresh, but this is just a grammar question.

“The outer skin of an orange can be produced orange zest which is used to give flavour in cooking.”

No, this is wrong.

“The outer skin of an (or the) orange can produce orange zest which is used to give flavour in cooking.” is correct.

Also try:

“The outer skin of an orange produces a called orange zest, a flavour used in cooking.”

“Oranges can be peeled and eaten fresh or squeezed for orange juice.”

No, you can’t.

Try This:

“Oranges are often (or commonly) peeled to be eaten fresh or squeezed to produce orange juice.”

(This is a very formal and text-book type sentence)
