Description/Taste
Japanese Bitter oranges are small to medium in size, averaging 2-5 centimeters in diameter, and are round to oblate in shape. The rind has a downy coating that creates a fuzzy texture and is firm, transforming from green to yellow when mature. Underneath the surface of the rind, there is a white pith that clings to the flesh and is spongy with a cotton-like feel. The flesh is aromatic containing many cream-colored seeds and is divided into 9-10 segments by thin, white membranes. Japanese Bitter oranges are very acidic and have a bitter, sour lemon flavor with Earl Grey nuances.
