Oranges

Oranges are a citrus fruit that grow on evergreen trees, native to Southeast Asia. They are known for their sweet and tart flavor, and are a good source of vitamin C. Oranges are consumed fresh, juiced, or used as an ingredient in various food products.

Oranges and their derivatives, like juice and zest, are used to add natural flavor and aroma to a wide range of foods and beverages. They are commonly found in jams, jellies, marmalades, baked goods, desserts, and non-alcoholic drinks.

Oranges are a natural food and are not subject to FDA additive regulations. They are a good source of vitamin C, which is an essential nutrient. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not established a specific guideline level for orange consumption. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming oranges in typical dietary amounts.
