Considered One of The Most Important Sources of Vitamin C in the Human Diet
The orange is the fruit produced by the orange tree (Citrus x sinensis), a member of the Rutaceae family. The orange is a hybrid fruit, created in antiquity through the cross-fertilization of the grapefruit and the tangerine. The orange was brought from China to Europe in the 16th century by the Portuguese. That is why sweet oranges are called “Portugueses” in many countries, (orange in Greek, for example, is “portokali”). This fruit is commonly peeled and consumed raw, or squeezed to obtain juice. Oranges contain appreciable quantities of mineral salts, principaliy calcium, potassium, sodium and phosphorous and are rich in complex B vitamins. The orange is considered one of the most important sources of vitamin C in the human diet (two oranges per day provide all the vitamin C that the organism needs). ln addition to this, they contain simple sugars which are easily assimilated by the organism. Its high content of flavonoids and beta-carotene, makes orange an especially interesting fruit due to the antioxidant effect of these nutrients.
