First up is segmenting. The two-step process to make supremes just takes time and precision. Watch chef Geoffrey Zakarian do it. The goal is to remove all the pith and peel. What you get are bite-sized snacks that are perfect in salads or smoothie bowls. The juice can be saved to make salad dressing or to add to your morning juice blend.

Last, but certainly not least, is the classic cut: the wedge. Orange wedges hold their shape in a lunch box, no matter how rough the terrain is on the way to school or work. They're the perfect way to end your lunch break or to enjoy as a midday snack. Or to try and scare your grandchild.
