How to Eat an Orange

An orange is a popular fruit that some people speculate is an ancient hybrid between the pomelo and tangerine fruits. However, there's no evidence to back up this theory. Despite their unknown origins, oranges are good for you, so you should regularly eat them. However, you should follow these tips to eat oranges neatly so you don't gnaw and slurp them out of the peel like a pig.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Two small bowls
• Paring knife or specialty orange knife

1. Select the ripest orange. Then carefully wash the peel with warm water and a soft scrubbing brush. This rinse will remove any bacteria from the surface of the peel so that it doesn't get transferred to the flesh of the orange when you cut the fruit.

2. Roll the knife to loosen the peel. Cut a circle piece around the section that would have attached to tree. Remove.

3. Dig your fingers under the skin and begin removing the peel. Place the peel in one bowl. It's okay to keep some of that white membrane attached. It's good to eat since it's high in soluble fiber which helps clear the bloodstream of toxins.

4. Use your fingers or knife to break the orange into sections and place these sections into a second bowl. Sprinkle with white sugar, if you wish, then eat the orange.

5. Save the orange peel and grate it into baking recipes. Orange peels contain limonene which some studies indicate wards off skin cancer.

Tips & Warnings

• Wash your hands before beginning to eat an orange.
• Watch out for seeds. You could choke on them if you don't remove them as you eat the orange.
