How to cut an Orange-Healthy Eating advice from Herbalife

Hi, I'm Susan Bowerman. Today I'm going to show you how to cut an orange.

When it comes to citrus, many people go for the easy options like tangerines because people think oranges are hard to peel. So, let me show you how to cut an orange. Don't use a giant knife because your knife should be appropriate to the size of fruit you are cutting. I'm going to show you two ways to cut an orange.

Method 1: Removing the skin
Take your orange and set it down on its side, cut off one end and then cut off the other end. Watch your fingers. Now very carefully score through the skin. I've watched people try to peel an orange by chewing away the skin with their teeth or picking at it with their fingernails. So, you are going to score it about an inch apart - this way, you can take it with you when you're on the go. Once you've made the initial incision, you can easily peel off the skin. When the skin is off you've got a choice: you can either open it up and section your orange, or slice the orange into bite size pieces.

Method 2: Wedges with skin
The other way to cut the orange is to do it the old school way: cut the ends off and then cut your orange into as many wedges as you want. This way, your orange can be eaten right out of the skin.

The white part of an orange is a good source of water-soluble fiber. The other thing, of course, is that an orange is loaded with vitamin C. One orange gives you all your Vitamin C for the day. It's also a good source of potassium. So next time you are looking at citrus, pick up an orange. As you've seen, they're really easy to prepare - without getting pith under your nails!
