Inside, the fruit is divided into "segments", which have thin tough skins that hold together many little sections with juice inside. There are usually ten segments in an orange, but sometimes there are more or less. What does sweet orange taste like? The orange has a sweet-tart taste and is commonly peeled and eaten fresh, or squeezed for its juice. It has a thick, bitter rind that is usually discarded, but can be used in cooking. The outermost layer of the rind can be scraped off to make zest, having a similar flavor to the flesh.
