You might want to get a bag or organic oranges. Conventionally grown
oranges might have pesticide residue on the peel. This isn't a problem
if you just plan on eating the orange, but it will be a problem if you
scrape the peel off.

That being said, the standard method is to use something like a cheese
grater to take the orange part off, leaving you with a white orange.
