You can eat the inside flesh of the orange and some recipes use the thin orange skin called the zest. The only part that isn't tasty is the pith - the white layer between the zest and the flesh.

Generally speaking, the fruit is an ovary which keeps the maturing seeds safe, and later provides nutrients as the ovary dies and the seeds are released for germination. In a peach, the skin is technically the exocarp and the flesh the mesocarp - these are developed from the ovary wall.
