Orange

Santra

140 g1 medium orange (about 140 g)

USDA medium orange about 131 g; rounded to 140 g for Indian medium fruit.

Nothing truly replaces orange's sweet citrus perfume, but orange juice plus a little lime is the closest.

• 
  Orange juice

  Use about 80% of the weight if the recipe wants orange flavour in a liquid form; for segments, use juice only as a partial swap. It adds sweetness and acidity but no peel or flesh texture.

• 
  Pineapple

  Use the same weight, cut into small pieces. It is sweeter and more acidic; cook briefly if raw, and reduce any added sugar.

• 
  Lemon or lime

  Use about 30% of the weight, plus sugar to taste, when the recipe needs orange's acidity. It gives no orange aroma and is much sharper, so add gradually.
