Oranges are tasty, refreshing, and healthy. However, they are also notoriously hard to peel. This actually isn’t an issue if you only want to extract their juice. However, if you want to eat oranges or use them for something else, you will need to make a great effort to take off their skin. Well, not anymore.

TikTok user @athomewithshannon recently shared a “genius” hack that will help you peel an orange in no time. Her trick is so simple that you’ll wonder how no one told you about it before.

How to Peel an Orange in a Few Seconds

According to @athomewithshannon, all you need to do is slice the orange down the middle. Next, you take one half, push the skin down on the edges, and “pop” the orange. It’s as easy as it sounds. Check out the visual instructions in the video below.

The hack has been warmly received by other TikTok users. Many of them tested it right away and found out that it actually works. However, as some people point out in the comment section, the trick probably depends on the oranges you use. If you happen to have an orange with really hard skin the hack could fail. But hey, you never know until you try it.
