Pith fact, not fiction

A question for the Nutritionists/ dieters: what is the nutritional value of orange pith? Specifically, the white spongy stuff between the bitter skin of the orange and its flesh. I like to eat this and can’t find a calorie count for it. Thanks

I can't find any calorie counts or anything like that, but can tell you that the part of the orange you're talking about is called the pith.

Response by poster: Slkinsey. You are so right. Mods, could you change the title to pith? It is misleading.

Mod note: Fixed it from "pulp", and let's have a brief moment of silence for a good title pun ruined by facts.

No nutritional value -- it's just roughage.

I always call it styrofoam 'cause that's what a friend did, in college.
