Please allow me to share a few facts and tips, which might help you to learn how to segment and cut out the supremes from oranges, grapefruit, lemons and other citrus fruits.
General info:
Citrus Fruits can be eaten peeled, cut in wedges, juiced, or segmented
Most citrus fruits have a tough shiny colored skin. Inside, the fruit is divided into "segments", which have thin tough skins that hold together many little sections with juice inside.The segments and the skin are separated by white stringy fibrous material called "pith" which is not a joyable texture and has also a little bitter flavor
Segmented citrus fruits can be used as an ingredient like in salads or sweet recipes or can also be used for decorative reasons even for drinks or Cocktails
How to cut / segment:
If you are cutting small citrus fruits then you can use a filet or paring knife and for large fruits use a Chef knife.
Cut a slice off the top and bottom of the orange. Stand it upright on one of the cut ends.
Cut from top to bottom following the curve of the citrus fruit, remove strips of the peel, including the white pith, to reveal the flesh.
Working over a bowl, hold the orange in one hand and make a cut on both sides of each segment along the membrane.
Release the segment into the bowl and repeat, making your way around the fruit.
Once finished, squeeze the membranes to get the rest juice out and revise your bowl to make sure there are no seeds
Additional tips:
Always wash your fruits before using them, most of citrus fruits are covered with a wax which is easy to wash of with warm water
Always secure your cutting board before cutting
Always make sure you are using a sharp knife
Clean your knife before and after using
