Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

While we love oranges, we despise having to peel them….One way or another, we invariably get peel stuck under our nails, waxy residue all over our hands, and juice running down our wrists – why does it have to be this messy?!

Plus, orange mess is some of the most difficult stuff to clean up. Almost like that cheesy residue you get from cheese puffs or cheese curls, the pulp and juice from an orange that you peel with your fingers invariably gets stuck under your fingernails, and it’s not coming out for days!

Good luck to you if you like to eat oranges regularly! We guarantee one fingernail will always be more yellowed than the rest. And nobody likes that look!

Thankfully, we realized we’ve been peeling oranges wrong this whole time and that there’s a way to peel them that’s super easy and mess-free! Who would have thought that after all these years someone would finally figure out the right way to do it?

This video breaks down the process, so check it out and enjoy those oranges!
