A sour orange, also known as bitter orange, is a type of citrus fruit that has a flavor more bitter than regular oranges. Scientifically known as Citrus aurantium, it is commonly found in Mediterranean regions and used in cooking, traditional medicine, and for making orange-flavored liqueurs. It's also cultivated for its essential oil and is often used in perfumery and aromatherapy. This type of orange is not usually consumed raw due to its sour and bitter taste.
