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.

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.

I've never learned to either as a child. I've been trying to eat all "human" foods that I basically missed out on. The orange was yummy :) Never ever too late to learn!

I ate a few. They were pretty good. I never really learned as a child how to peel and eat an orange. You're never too old to learn (or to try it), I guess.
