This strongly perfume-flavoured fruit becomes wrinkled as it ripens. The orange pulp inside contains loads of tiny black seeds, which are edible, but most people prefer not to eat them. The pulp is generally strained and diluted into juice or used for flavouring a dish much in the same way as vanilla or a strong alcohol. It is also used for ice creams and sorbets, confectionery and sherbets. To make a litre of juice takes over one hundred fruit!
