bitter orange
Sour citrus fruit
Bitter orange is a citrus fruit with rough, aromatic skin and sour flesh too tart to eat raw.
The rind flavors marmalade, liqueurs like Curaçao and Grand Marnier, and Belgian witbier.
The oil scents perfumes and aromatherapy products.
Bitter orange extract appears in dietary supplements marketed for weight loss, though its safety is disputed.
