More than any other fruit, the orange is associated with and valued for
its vitamin C content. It is in fact, the primary source of vitamin C for the
majority of Americans. A small orange contains generous levels of folic
acid, potassium and thiamine. Compared to other citrus fruits,oranges
have a broader range of use: they can be added to various cooked
dishes, eaten as a snack or squeezed for their delicious juice.
Orange trees are semi tropical non-deciduous trees and like other citrus
fruits, they are probably originated in Southeast Asia. We take oranges
for granted now but at one time they were expensive and rarely
available in cooler climates. Columbus brought orange seeds and
seedlings with him to the New World and by the 1820s when Florida
became a US territory, there were thriving orange groves in St.
Augustine. By 1910, Florida was on its way to its current status as the
number one citrus growing state.
