Laraha oranges are a type of citrus fruit native to the island of Curacao. They are known for their bitter taste and are not typically eaten fresh. Instead, they are often used to make liqueurs, jams, and other products due to their aromatic qualities. The Laraha orange is a descendant of the Seville orange, which was brought to the Caribbean by Spanish explorers. Over time, the fruit adapted to the local environment, resulting in its unique flavor profile. Despite their bitterness, Laraha oranges play a significant role in the island's culture and economy.
