These days it's better to arm yourself with a nice ship loaded with… citrus fruits! Thus defined for their "sour" flavor, they actually know how to be very sweet: oranges, tangerines, clementines and many others.
They are excellent for fighting colds, but also for lack of appetite, capillary fragility and insomnia. Perhaps it will be the very high amount of C vitamin that they enclose in their pulp? Let's see a little known technique to go directly to the heart of their properties.

What does it mean to "peel alive" a citrus fruit?

Nothing to fear, this is not a bloody practice! The expression "peel alive" usually indicates a technique used in the kitchen to extract only the pulp from citrus fruits without the skin that covers it and without damaging the segments.

How do you go about peeling alive?

First you need to have a very sharp and pointed knife and with this you have to peel the citrus, removing the colored zest and the white part below. Then, inserting the small knife between the white skin that covers each segment and the pulp, you must separate them by detaching the latter.

Final phase of peeling alive

The wedges prepared in this way will be ready and perfect to be added to salads and fruit salads, even if once applied the live peeling technique, they are also ideal to eat like this, alone, with all their fantastic and extraordinary virtues!
