Or…you can just use a seedless orange! The main purpose of segmenting the orange is to remove the seeds. It does also remove the pith and membranes, ensuring the best texture and maximum sweetness.
HOW to segment an orangeyou ask? The first step is to cut off the peel. It’s easiest to do this after cutting off the top and bottom of the orange so it sits flat (see photo below). Then you can cut off the sides with ease.
