sour orange
Marmalade's preferred fruit
A sour orange is a citrus fruit with a bitter, acidic flavor that makes it unsuitable for eating fresh.
Unlike sweet oranges, sour oranges are primarily used for marmalade, flavoring, and essential oils extracted from the peel, flowers, and leaves.
The Seville orange is the best-known variety.
Sour orange trees also serve as hardy rootstock for grafting other citrus varieties.
