History and background
The orange originated in Asia, specifically in Southern China, Northeast India and Myanmar. The earliest mention of the sweet orange was in Chinese literature in 314 BC, a long time ago. Today, orange trees are one of the most cultivated fruit trees in the world.
It was the explorer Christopher Columbus who first brought this citrus fruit to North America in 1493. Sir Francis Carew is said to have grown the first orange trees in the UK on his estate in Surrey, some time before 1562.
General Use
These 100% natural dried orange slices are ideal for adding to mulled wine, garnishing gin, crafting into scented wreaths and much more. As with orange peel, they can be used for the same purposes. However, whole slices tend to be used where a decorative effect is required.
Increasingly, they are being used by bars, pubs, hotels and restaurants to decorate drinks. Dehydrating orange slices brings out the intensity of the citrus flavour, adding to the overall taste and appearance of a wide range of food and drink products.
