Every wedge was great--super juicy, sweet, and best of all, satisfying. Except for that damn pith. It was kind of fuzzy looking, felt sticky in a weird, non-yummy-fruit way. I just kept telling myself 'Don't think about the pith, Don't think about the pith." Yet every time I popped a wedge in my mouth I couldn't help but look at it and go "Ew! Why does it have to be fuzzy?!?!". Honestly, I have to say it never felt fuzzy in my mouth and as soon as I sunk my teeth into it a wedge, the fresh sweetness totally downed out any of the bad parts.
I will say the only down side was that I got a touch of heartburn afterward and my mouth/throat felt itchy. I keep getting that feeling after I eat fruit, but it goes away quickly. I think it's all in my head, but we'll see if it goes away the more I eat fruit and experiment with new things.
But seriously, what's with that nasty pith? Can't they make it less pithy by genetically engineering the fruit. I am sure someone out there is fainting by the fact I want a genetically engineered less pithy clementine. What can I say, I'm a picky eater!
the cuties, ez-peel oranges are much easier to get more of the pith off. i am the same way about oranges!
