Sour Orange

Naranja Agria

USES: As a seasoning, much like lime juice, in salsas, marinades and soups.

Other names: Naranja (without the agria) in Yucatan, Seville orange, bitter orange.

FINDING: Occasionally in Latin American, Mediterranean and some well-stocked groceries.

CHOOSING: A typically bumpy-skinned sour orange that is unblemished, not withered and feels heavy is the best-tasting, juiciest one.

STORING: In the refrigerator, loosely wrapped, for up to a month.
