If you�re expecting sweet oranges, this isn�t for you. But if you like experimenting with bitter notes in food and drinks, you�ll love these. The fruit adds depth that regular oranges just don�t have.
I started these seeds indoors under grow lights, and they�re already strong seedlings after two months. Excited to transplant them outside in spring. The quality is definitely there.
My grandmother used to grow bitter oranges, and these seeds gave me that same nostalgic flavor. They aren�t sweet, but that�s the charm�authentic and old-fashioned citrus taste.
I love experimenting in the kitchen, and these bitter oranges were fantastic for cocktails and dressings. The bitterness is sharp but balanced. The plants themselves are surprisingly resilient.
Out of the 12 seeds I planted, 10 sprouted within a couple of weeks. That�s much better than I�ve had with other citrus seeds. Looking forward to seeing the full fruit yield.
