Removing the white pith from oranges can be one of the most annoying parts of getting the fruit ready to eat. The peel may come away easily, yet thin strands of white pith often cling to the segments. They can make peeled oranges look untidy and may leave a slightly bitter taste. Fortunately, one does not need to spend ages picking off every strand using fingers. A few simple techniques can make the work quicker and cleaner. The best approach depends on whether you want whole orange segments for a fruit salad or clean pieces for desserts and garnishes. Using your fingers, a small knife, or a short soak in water can help loosen stubborn pith without damaging the juicy, soft fruit underneath. Here are some practical ways to remove white pith from oranges with less effort. Looking for trusted parenting advice?
