Oranges

Oranges can be used for both raw and cooked applications. The fruit can easily be peeled, segmented, and served as a stand-alone snack, or it can be tossed into green salads, fruit salads, and fruit cups. The juice is also commonly used and can be consumed fresh in smoothies, cocktails, soups, and gelatins. In addition to savory preparations, Orange juice can be used to flavor cakes, muffins, cookies, granola, soft-drinks, and candy. The zest of the Orange can be used to add flavor to meats, fish, and stir-fries. In South America, Oranges are boiled in sweetened water and poured over toast to create a unique soup.
