Description
Oranges are among the world's most popular fruits, as they’re both tasty and nutritious. They are a round, segmented citrus fruit with a pitted peel. It consists of several easily separated sections, each containing several seeds and many juice cells, covered by a leathery skin. They grow on orange trees (Citrus x sinensis) and belong to a large group of fruits known as citrus fruits. The taste varies from juicy and sweet to bitter, depending on the variety. Some of the common varieties include Valencia, Seville, and Hamlin. Most oranges are available year-round, except for the varieties like blood oranges, which have a shorter season. Today, oranges are grown in most warm regions of the world and consumed either fresh or as juice.
