"Citrus Supreme" Food Tip #2

Citrus segments make refreshing additions to salads and desserts, but the bitter white pith and chewy membranes sometimes detract from the deliciousness. To make citrus segments -- sometimes called "supremes" -- the only tool needed is a sharp paring knife. Cut the top and bottom off the fruit, then carefully cut away the peel and pith, leaving as much of the fruit as possible. Then, over a bowl to catch the juice, slide the knife along each side of the membrane separating each segment. The segments will drop into the bowl and the juice can be used for a sauce or dressing. segments make refreshing additions to salads and desserts, but the bitter white pith and chewy membranes sometimes detract from the deliciousness.

@trotchye when you finish taking the rind and pith off the orange or any citrus fruit you can see thin white lines running from top to bottom all the way around, to segment/supreme just cut in between those lines and tadaa you have a segment/supreme

just a little tip to make things easier, sharpen your knife so it doesnt damage the fruit too much, plus dont hold it too firmly cos again to avoid damage xD awesome vid

[trotchye]

Couldn't see how you segment the orange, it would be better if you zoom in while cutting.
