CITRUS FRUIT – Checking and / or Cleaning
Citrus fruit often have “scale insects” on
the peel. Usually measuring about 1,5mm,
these black or brown deposits usually come
off when pressing a fingernail against their
side. Even if you don’t eat the peel, the
insects often come off in the process of
cutting, peeling and / or squeezing.
1. If the peel appears absolutely clean you
may use it as is. But if not, then:
2. If you peel the fruit, rinse off the
fruit and your hands after peeling.
3. If you:-
- squeeze
the fruit* use a slice in other foods
(e.g. slice of lemon in a drink)
- If you
eat the fruit off the peel (e.g. quartered
oranges)
- then
first brush down the peel with a nylon
brush under running water.
