About Sour orange
Sour orange, also known as Seville orange or bitter orange, is a citrus fruit native to Southeast Asia but widely used in Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Latin American cuisines. Its thick, dimpled skin ranges from orange to yellow and is exceptionally aromatic, while its juice is tart and tangy, often too bitter for raw consumption. Rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and antioxidants, it supports immune health and fights oxidative stress. Sour orange is a key ingredient in marmalades, marinades, sauces, and traditional dishes like Cuban mojo and Yucatán’s cochinita pibil. Its essential oil is used in aromatherapy, while the peel contains pectin, a natural thickener. However, excessive consumption of its juice may be harmful due to its high acidity and furanocoumarins, which can interact with medications. Balanced use of this vibrant fruit adds flavor and nutrients to various dishes.
