Citrus Tasting

  On days we don't have class, Teaching Kitchen often sets up tastings for Googlers while they're eating their lunch at Kitchen Sync Cafe--Today we decided to go with a citrus theme. With each tasting we usually research some interesting facts about the food we're serving. For example, blood oranges contain antioxidants called anthocyanin. This antioxidant is nearly flavorless and odorless however, it is responsible for giving this fruit its crimson color

  Above is a picture of the fresh produce we will be using--kumquats, tangerines, blood oranges. To the left is the final set up of the tasting including the fresh produce, orange vinegar and samples of the different citrus flavors

  1. Did you look up something interesting about the kumquats?

  2. I don't believe so. Although I personally learned that the peel is sweeter than the fruit (which is sour) and that it can be eaten whole. I never knew that before and thought it was pretty interesting!
