Pretty much everything is poisonous if you eat too much of it, but orange peels don't contain significant quantities of anything that's really highly toxic. Limonene (the oily substance present in orange peels with a strong citrus scent) is mildly toxic (it's mainly a skin irritant), but unless you're eating them by the pound or are highly sensitive to it, it's probably not going to cause much of a problem.
There are several common foods that include orange peel, which is a good argument that it's not very poisonous: marmalade and candied orange peel, to name just a couple.
What are citrus fruits an excellent source of?
Citrus fruits are all acid fruits. Acid fruits are the most detoxifying of all fruits. It is best to eat them fresh. They are high in Vitamin C and contain many other essential nutrients, including both glycaemic and non-glycaemic carbohydrate (sugars and fibre), potassium, folate, calcium, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, riboflavin, pantothenic acid and a variety of phytochemicals.

How much lemon juice should you put on fruit to keep it from going brown?
Yes indeed. The acid from the lemon juice prevents oxidation in fruits. If the extra tartness of the lemon juice doesn't do it for you, you can also dilute orange juice to get the same properties. Just mix 1/4 cup juice to cup of water. It won't change the flavor of the apples...or bananas for that matter! Bananas make a surprising addition to fruit salad if they are treated with the orange juice mixture.

so citrus is not a fruit but a kind of fruit.
What is the voltage of a lemon and lime?
It doesn't, a lemon has more voltage than an apple because a lemon has a higher amount of acidity. The more acidity a fruit has, the more voltage it has. [NEEDS CORRECTION] (Acidity in foods does NOT correlate to the amount of voltage produced. See University of Illinois, Physics Department {Q & A: Fruit Batteries | Department of Physics | University of Illinois}.)

How can a lemon produce current?
A battery made out of a lemon is a gimmick used in various textbooks in schools all over the world.
The experiment usually consist of using two various metal conductors, it could be a nail covered with zinc (galvanized) and a quarter or any other
coin made out of copper. You will then have to insert the two items into the lemon. The coin and the nail will become electrodes and cause a kind of electrochemical reaction
and generate a minor electric potential. The reason for caring out experiments like this is to demonstrate for the pupils or students how a normal day battery works. When the lemon battery is put
together, a device called a multimeter will be able to the amount of voltage generated.
