Do you eat the WHITE STUFF on oranges?! You can! It’s GOOD for you! The white stuff on citrus fruits is called PITH. Pith has more fiber than the fruit part we are used to eating. It contains flavonoids that help REDUCE INFLAMMATION and INDUCE cancer cell APOPTOSIS (cell death).

It’s basically tasteless, but obviously a different texture than the fruit. I peel my oranges using a knife so I can keep more of the pith on to eat. It’s not bad. Try it and let me know what you think! This is a great time to really be getting all the nutrition you can and supporting your immune system, every little part can help!
