If you are a fan of citrus fruits, you have undoubtedly eaten a lot of oranges. The spherical,
orange coloured citrus fruits have potential health benefits. But have you ever wondered
where did orange originate?
Known for their vitamin C content, orange trees originated in China thousands of years ago.
These nutrient-dense powerhouses are now produced in many parts of the world, including
Spain, Mexico and the United States.
Oranges come in a variety of shapes and sizes – some are sweet while others are sour. Along
with multiple health benefits, which include prevention of diseases and reducing
inflammation, oranges lend themselves easily to a wide variety of dishes, from desserts and
pies to kebabs and curries. Let’s see how some of the renowned eateries have introduced this
popular citrus fruit into their menu!
