orange ceviche

[hotenuff4u]

does anyone know if oranges have a high enough acidic content alone to "chemically cook" meat like limes, lemons, vinegar, etc does?

Not really, but you could combine for a nice flavor. Limes and blood oranges go well together.
Citric acid:
0.005 mol/L for oranges and grapefruits
0.30 mol/L for lemons and limes

My ceviches are always mostly OJ based and it hasn't killed me yet. Three oranges, two limes, and barracuda is the usual.

Never done the math, then again I only make ceviche outta fish I caught that day, so probably doesn't matter.
