Fruit doesn’t typically make you think of bitter; quite the opposite, in fact. Ripe strawberries, fragrant melon, juicy peaches—all of them sweet. However, there are fruits that harbor bitterness; the most obvious are members of the citrus family, such as grapefruit and Seville oranges. Recipes constantly warn you to cut away the bitter pith when using citrus zest, and while there is some bitterness in the flavorful volatile oils in the skin, most is concentrated in the pith. The peel and pith of citrus fruits are common ingredients in bitters and bitter alcohols, and they are full of antioxidants. Take full advantage of their phytochemicals: next time you add citrus zest to a recipe, leave on a little of the pith. It will add a hint of bitterness to sugar syrup, milk, or savory stew.
