  • The soup also tastes delicious if you replace the carrots with Hokkaido pumpkin.

 

Product description:

The orange is the fruit of the evergreen orange tree and is the most commonly grown citrus fruit worldwide. It has many culinary uses: as freshly squeezed orange juice, in fruit salads, jams, cakes, desserts and much more. The fruits ripen for several months before they are harvested. The white layer, the mesocarp, between the flesh and the peel, contains valuable secondary plant substances. There are different varieties of oranges, e.g. the navel orange, which is seedless and easy to peel. Or the Valencia orange, which has distinctive red flesh and a unique flavour.
