What it is

Orange blossom refers to the fragrant flowers of the bitter orange tree (Citrus × aurantium). The flowers are typically harvested by hand and then processed, often through steam distillation, to extract their aromatic essential oil or used to create an orange blossom water.

Why it's used

Orange blossom extract and water are used as flavoring agents in both sweet and savory dishes. They are particularly common in baked goods like pastries, cakes, and cookies, as well as in beverages and desserts, adding a distinct floral and citrusy aroma and taste.

Health notes

In the U.S., orange blossom water and its extracts are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated similar flavoring substances. At typical consumption levels found in food, orange blossom is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Orange blossom is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
