Cutting wedges is a culinary technique used to divide fruits and vegetables into evenly sized, triangular-shaped pieces. It is commonly employed with citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruits, and lemons, but can also be applied to other produce, including apples, potatoes, and bell peppers.
Cutting wedges offers several benefits. First, it creates visually appealing pieces that are ideal for salads, fruit platters, and desserts. Second, it ensures even cooking when roasting or grilling, as the wedges are of uniform thickness. Third, it makes it easier to remove the peel or skin from the fruit or vegetable, if desired.
