The orange is a fruit from the citrus species in the family Rutaceae. Known for its sweet and slightly tangy taste, it is one of the most commonly consumed fruit worldwide. This fruit is not only well-loved for its refreshing flavor but also for its high levels of vitamin C.
Oranges are round or oval in shape, have a bright orange color, and have a slightly rough and thick skin that can be easily peeled off. Inside, the fruit is separated into segments which can be easily split apart. Each fleshy segment contains the juice which is either eaten raw or squeezed to make orange juice.
Some common types of oranges include Valencia, Seville, Navel, and Mandarin Orange. The usage of oranges are not limited to just eating the fruit or drinking its juice - the zest of the orange skin is also often used in cooking and baking.
Oranges are also commonly used in desserts, marmalades, jams, cocktails, salad dressings, and much more. The essential oils from orange peels are often used in scented candles, soaps and in aromatherapy for their fresh and uplifting scent.
