Orange Description:
The orange has a sweet-tart taste and is commonly peeled and eaten fresh, or squeezed for its juice. It has a thick, bitter rind that is usually discarded, but can be used in cooking. The outermost layer of the rind can be scraped off to make zest, having a similar flavour to the flesh. Oranges are round, orange-coloured citrus fruits that grow on trees. It all started for oranges in Asia, where the fruit tree first bloomed in the region covering modern-day Southeast China. Small, sour and nearly inedible, the wild orange—officially known as the bitter orange in the scientific community—was never quite cut out for human tastes.
Health Benefits:
In addition to vitamin C, oranges have other nutrients that keep your body healthy. The fibre in oranges can keep blood sugar levels in check and reduce high cholesterol to prevent cardiovascular disease. Oranges contain approximately 55 milligrams of calcium, or 6% of your daily requirement.
