Delicious orange

Filed under: Gift Baskets — Tags: , , , , , — orderfruitbaskets @ 4:18 pm

Orange is a citrus fruit that originated in Southeast Asia. Oranges are well known and highly valued for their vitamin C content. For most Americans it is a primary source of vitamin C. It has many other nutritional benefits too as it contains magnesium, calcium, potassium, folacin and thiamin. Mostly they are consumed in juice form but eating the fruit provides more vitamin C and fiber than the juice.

 

There are many varieties of oranges like the sweet orange, the sour orange, and the tangerine. United States produces the sweet variety. Spain produces the sour variety which is usually used in marmalades and liqueurs. Most of the oranges have a yellowish orange color. Florida oranges have some green on the skin while California and Arizona oranges have a deeper orange color due to cooler desert nights and these are available throughout the year. The skin color is actually not a guide to quality as some fruits might have green spots on the skin even though they fully ripe. Look for oranges that are firm, bright and heavy for its size and also thinner skinned oranges tend to be juicier than thick skin varieties.

The Florida grapefruit is sweeter and less pulpy that the ones from California. Grapefruit should be shiny, firm, shiny, and heavy in the hand which meant it has more juice and flavor. If its going to be consumed within a week it can be left in the counter otherwise it needs refrigeration for longer storage.
