Tips and tricks:
Which varieties to choose? For your salads, choose “navel” table oranges, which are seedless and easy to peel. For juices, prefer “dedicated” thin-skinned oranges: blonde “Valencia”, “Salustiana” or “Maltese” and other blood oranges, with rosy and savory juice.
Everything is eaten in the orange. If it’s organic, don’t throw away its bark! Incorporate it into cubes, or dried and powdered into a cake mixture. Unless you slice it thinly in a sugar syrup to make delicious orange sodas
