Pickled oranges

Most of us not only know, but also simply adore a solar fruit called orange. Perhaps he is considered the most famous and popular representative of the Citrus family. Meanwhile, the word "orange" itself is characterized by Dutch origin, translating to a Chinese apple - as if hinting at the homeland of its appearance.

For a long time, oranges were considered an exquisite treat, which only representatives of the elite and royal families allowed themselves. Fortunately, today oranges are almost everywhere, and Spain, Morocco, the USA and South Africa are the leaders in exporting these fruits.

I would like to note that oranges are not only delicious, but also extremely healthy fruits. Thus, their chemical composition is replete with various vitamins, mineral salts, as well as many other biologically active compounds that are vital for the human body. It is due to this that it is so useful to consume oranges regularly.

Oranges are mainly used for food purposes in fresh form, but pickled oranges are often used in culinary affairs, which can act as a savoury snack, a baking filling or an elegant decorative product for confectionery.

The calorie content of pickled oranges is approximately 37 kcal, but depending on the marinade fill used, including the sugar content, the composition and nutritional value of this unusual product can vary.

The modern food industry offers a wide range of various canned foods - vegetables, fruits and berries. Pickled oranges are no exception. These juicy sweet fruits are completely ready to eat, as most often they are already peeled with white films and even disassembled into wedges.

There are also pickled oranges prepared as a whole, but thanks to the use of a special marinade, the skin becomes completely edible, so it is enough just to open the can and deal with the product at your discretion.

You can also cook pickled oranges for future use at home. For this purpose, it is advised to select sweet varieties of this fruit - this will eliminate the need to use other sweeteners when preparing this tasty product. In addition to the oranges themselves, ginger or cinnamon is often added to the blank, while the result is not only an unusually aromatic, but also a doubly useful dessert.

Home-made pickled oranges are a delicious and very healthy treat that appeals not only to adult connoisseurs of this fruit, but also to small foodies.
