The pomerant or bitter orange is the fruit of the pomerant tree (Citrus aurantium).
The flesh of the small orange-orange-red fruit is bitter-sour and not suitable for eating raw. In Mexico, the fruit is cut in half, salted, coated with a spicy chilli paste and eaten as a side dish with meat.
A marmalade made from bitter oranges is particularly popular in England.
In Spain, pomerant juice is used to flavour fish dishes.
The oil pressed from Pomeranian peel is used in the preparation of sweets, ice creams, pastries, jellies and liqueurs.
