  1. 01

  2. 02

    Using a small sharp knife, carefully cut the membrane from each segment — this is called supreming.

    Remove any seeds.

  4. 04

    The resulting segment should be just the soft juicy flesh.

  5. 05

    Serve immediately at room temperature.

How to offer

Place 3–4 membraned orange segments on the high chair tray. Removing the membrane prevents choking on tough fibre. Supervise closely as orange segments can be slippery.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
