Benefits and properties of the orange
The orange, a symbol of freshness and health, is rich in properties and benefits that make it a valuable ally for daily well-being. Firstly, it's an excellent source of vitamin C, which is essential for boosting the immune system, protecting against infections and helping to absorb iron. Oranges also contain flavonoids, powerful antioxidants that help fight free radicals and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. In addition, the fibre in oranges promotes digestive health, helping to prevent conditions such as constipation. The fruit is also a source of several minerals and vitamins, including potassium, which contributes to the proper functioning of the nervous system and the regulation of blood pressure. The consumption of oranges can therefore have a positive effect on skin health, the prevention of premature ageing and mood, thanks also to its contribution to the production of serotonin.
Use of bitter orange powder in cooking
Bitter orange powder, obtained from the dried peel of the orange, is a versatile and aromatic ingredient used in various culinary areas to give dishes a unique and unmistakable taste. In confectionery, it's used to flavour sweets, biscuits, cakes and chocolate, offering a fascinating contrast between sweet and bitter that enhances the flavour profile of preparations. In the beverage sector, it adds a distinctive note to cocktails, teas and infusions, enriching them with its intense and refreshing aroma. Bitter orange powder is also used in the savoury kitchen, where it can be used in marinades, dressings, sauces and vinaigrettes to give a Mediterranean touch to meat, fish or vegetable dishes. Its ability to balance sweet, salty and sour flavours makes it a valuable ingredient for exploring new flavour combinations, enriching the range of flavours available in cooking and stimulating culinary creativity.
