You've been peeling your oranges the wrong way

And so have I.

If you're like me, you're glad citrus fruit season is coming to a close, soon to be replaced by fresh strawberries and blueberries.

Don't get me wrong, I like how oranges taste and applaud all the vitamin C they provide, but I hate peeling them with a passion. You can never get all that bitter white stuff — also known as pith — off the wedges and you're lucky if you manage to pick the peel off in large chunks rather than bit by unsatisfying bit. To add insult to injury, after you've finally accomplished getting the rind off, you're left with a sticky residue all over your hands.

All this is why I look forward to the fruits that come in the spring and summer that only requiring a simple wash before you can take a bite or pop them into your mouth.

That is, until I saw this video showing me how I should be peeling oranges without any of the aforementioned hassle.
