That's a great choice! Large orange slices are perfect for salads, garnishes, or a refreshing snack. There are generally two main ways to get "slices" from a large orange, depending on whether you want rounds *with* the peel or clean segments *without* the peel/membrane. ### Method 1: Large Rounds/Wheels (with Peel) This is the quickest way to get round slices. 1. **Wash and Trim:** Thoroughly wash the orange. Use a sharp knife to slice off about $1/4$ inch from the **top and bottom** ends until you see the flesh. Discard the ends. 2. **Stand Up:** Place the orange on one of the flat ends so it stands upright and is stable. 3. **Slice:** Slice the orange crosswise into rounds of your desired thickness. ### Method 2: Large Segments/Supremes (Peel and Pith Removed) This method gives you the pure, juicy flesh without the bitter white pith or stringy membranes—perfect for salads. 1. **Wash and Trim Ends:** Wash the orange. Use a sharp chef's knife to slice off the top and bottom ends, just enough to expose the flesh. 2. **Peel with Knife:** Stand the orange on one flat end. Starting at the top, carefully cut the skin and white pith away, following the curve of the orange as you rotate it. Continue until all the white pith is removed. 3. **Segment:** Hold the peeled orange in your hand. Look for the white membrane dividing the segments. Make a V-shaped cut, slicing down and inward on **both sides** of a membrane to free the segment (called a *supreme*). 4. **Collect:** Repeat until all segments are removed. You can squeeze the remaining membranes to get fresh juice for a dressing! *** ### Quick Navel Orange Nutrition Facts (Approximate for one medium orange): For a standard **Navel Orange** (about $140\text{g}$): * **Calories:** $\sim73$ * **Carbohydrates:** $\sim16.5\text{g}$ (with $\sim2.8\text{g}$ of **Fiber**) * **Vitamin C:** Excellent source, often providing close to $\mathbf{100\%}$ of the Daily Value (DV). * **Potassium:** A good source.
