You understand exactly what we’re talking about if you consume oranges. Orange has a white, sponge-like texture all over it when you peel it. Before you eat the orange, you might try to peel it off, but let’s be honest — you can’t. It turns out that this substance is called orange pith.

This substance is orange for a reason, just like the white thing on baby carrots, the white stuff on salmon, and the stringy stuff in eggs. To find out what it is and whether you should eat it, continue reading.

Orange pith: What is it?

When peeling an orange, you may see a white, sponge-like substance called an orange pith. Taylor Fazio, a wellness advisor at The Landy, advises imagining the orange pith as the connective tissue of an orange. It has a heavier texture and is slightly more bitter.

Is it OK to consume an orange’s pith?

The pith, which is the stringy, spongy white portion between the peel and the fruit, is typically avoided because it is bitter. However, the pith is rich in immune-supporting flavonoids, fiber, vitamin C, and calcium. To mask the flavor and yet receive the benefits, add the pith to a smoothie.
