About Orange curd

Orange curd is a sweet, creamy spread made primarily from orange juice, orange zest, sugar, eggs, and butter. It originates from British cuisine, where curds are traditionally used as fillings for tarts, cakes, or as a topping for toast and scones. The vibrant citrus flavor comes from the natural orange components, delivering a tangy and refreshing taste. While orange curd is rich in vitamin C from the fruit juice, its nutritional profile includes a high sugar and fat content due to the added sugar and butter, making it an indulgence best enjoyed in moderation. A small serving can be a delightful way to add a touch of citrus to desserts, but it’s worth noting that its calorie density may be unsuitable for those following low-sugar or low-fat diets. Homemade versions allow for more control over sweetness and ingredients for a potentially lighter option.
