Bitter Orange
If the typical “sweet” orange represents a food of high nutritional interest, bitter orange, although less appreciable in flavor, is a typical ingredient of many cosmetic products. Although it is too bitter to be eaten fresh, the pulp of this citrus fruit is a typical ingredient for the confectionery industry.
