Botanical name: Citrus x aurantium
^Organic
Citrus x aurantium, commonly known as bitter orange, is a hybrid citrus fruit tree that thrives in subtropical and tropical regions, including parts of the Mediterranean, Florida, and California. It belongs to the Rutaceae family and is recognized for its fragrant flowers and small, round fruit, which is typically orange in color. Traditionally, bitter orange has been used in herbal remedies for its potential digestive benefits and as an appetite stimulant, often prepared as extracts or teas. The fruit has a distinctly bitter flavor, which is less sweet than other citrus fruits, making it popular in culinary applications such as marmalades, liqueurs, and flavoring agents. Historically, bitter orange has been valued not only for its culinary uses but also in traditional medicine, particularly for its purported effects on metabolism and digestive health.*
