Description

Citrus slices are thin, circular cuts obtained from fruits of the Citrus genus, such as lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits, and tangerines. These cuts retain the peel, pulp, and seeds of the fruit, providing both flavor and a decorative touch to various culinary preparations.

Originating from the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Southeast Asia, citrus fruits have been cultivated and popularized worldwide, becoming essential ingredients in global cuisine, especially in dishes, beverages, and desserts.

Citrus slices contribute a fresh, acidic, and aromatic flavor, in addition to containing valuable nutritional properties like vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. They are used to enhance the flavor of savory and sweet recipes, marinate foods, prepare cocktails, or as a garnish.

In different Latin American countries, citrus slices may also be known as "citrus chips", "citrus cuts", or simply "sliced citrus".
