In Their Skin

Peeled citrus fruit is pretty delicate. Knowing this and still wanting to see if vacuum compression would benefit the fruit, we opted to compress a variety of citrus from ugli to tangerine. The change, the difference, the benefits are small and significant. It is the tiny increments, the delicate adjustments that are often overlooked, that allow for innovation and evolution. The skin of the fruit protected the fragile citrus flesh while still allowing the cells to be compressed and the juiciness to be increased. The tangerine on the left has been compressed; the one on the right, simply sliced. We look forward to applying this approach and utilizing its benefits.
