It is often said that healthy food is usually tasteless. Orange is a vivid refutation of such talk.
The bright orange color alone lifts the mood, not to mention the taste.
The fruit is very tasty - this is obvious to those who have managed to try this heavenly fruit. Orange contains a huge amount of useful substances.
The review will cover both the beneficial and negative effects of eating oranges. Now, in order.
The orange comes from warm regions, more precisely from the southern regions of China. 5 thousand years ago, pomelo and mandarin were crossed on this land.
Then the orange trees made their triumphant march across the Earth.
In Europe, the first harbingers of orange expansion appeared in the 15th century. Portuguese traders began to import seedlings.
Initially, oranges were grown in greenhouses.
Hence the English name of oranges. Dozens of new varieties have been bred, growing from Africa to the southern regions of our country. Who doesn't like the sweet and sour pulp of oranges? Perhaps, there are only a few who hate oranges. This is the most popular citrus tree in the world.
Orange pulp contains a lot of sugar, pectin, citric acid. Oranges also contain large amounts of iron, potassium, magnesium, silicon, phosphorus and iodine.
A pleasant sourness hints that vitamin C has chosen its permanent "residence" place. But that's not the end. Orange is a "home" for the B vitamin group.
The zest contains essential oils, pectin and vitamins. In the loose white substance called albedo, you can find pectins and bioflavonoids, which have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body.
