bitter oranges
Sour citrus variety
Bitter oranges are a variety of citrus fruit with rough, thick skin and sour, acidic flesh too tart to eat raw.
They're prized for making marmalade, where the bitterness becomes a virtue, and for flavoring liqueurs like Curaçao and Grand Marnier.
The peel yields oils used in perfumery.
Also called Seville oranges.
