Naranjas

The oranges that grow in the Guanacaste Province are green, similar to a pomelo (Citrus maxima) but smaller. Amongst many other things Abraan taught me how to eat an orange the Costa Rican way. With careful instructions I was told to peel the outer rind of the orange with a knife leaving behind the inner white skin. A small section at the navel is then sliced. The juice is then drunk while squeezing the orange as hard as you can at your mouth. Here’s a photo of us eating oranges at some of my practice runs carving the orange.
