Description

Oranges (Citrus sinensis) are juicy citrus fruits with sweet-tart flesh enclosed in a fragrant, brightly colored peel. Common varieties include navel and Valencia oranges, along with specialty varieties such as Cara Cara. Oranges are particularly rich in vitamin C and also provide fiber, potassium, folate, carotenoids, and citrus flavanones such as hesperidin. Enjoy the whole fruit by itself or add orange segments to salads, yogurt bowls, smoothies, grain dishes, and desserts. The juice and finely grated zest can also brighten vinaigrettes, marinades, sauces, baked goods, and savory dishes, making oranges an easy way to add fresh citrus flavor to everyday meals.
