Oranges contain vitamin C, a nutrient essential for human health. Vitamin C increases the blood's resistance to oxidants and prevents scurvy, a condition caused by a lack of vitamin C that softens the gums and creates liver spots on the skin, leading to a loss of teeth, open wounds, and death. There is also some evidence supporting assertions that vitamin C improves or bolsters the immune system.

Oranges are also a relatively good source of carbohydrates, sugar, and fiber, which give the body energy.

No, They grow on trees. Oranges trees originally come from China but have been grown in Europe and North America for over 100 years. Orange trees are now grown all over the world for their delicious and nutritious fruit. There are many varieties to choose from, including Jaffa oranges, Navel oranges and Blood oranges. Many orange trees can be grown in the UK, under cover such as in a conservatory or greenhouse. They are not hard trees to grow in the UK as long as they are looked after properly.

Oranges have an enjoyable flavor, and are a good source of vitamin C. Of course, that is also true of many other types of fruit, so it is certainly possible to survive without oranges. But oranges are a valuable addition to a person's diet.

No, it's not healthy for guinea pigs to eat any kind of citrus fruits, which include oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, etc.

Ofcourse not. Dogs are carnivores. They won't eat fruits and vegetables.

The color orange is derived from an even mixture of two primary colors: specifically yellow and red. Variations of these two colors can create a plethera of variance in shades of orange. aka pshawski....!

Oranges float because with their peel on, their density is less than 1. The density of water is 1, and anything with a density less than 1 will float. However, if the peel is removed, the density will be more than 1, and the orange will sink. The formula for finding density is: Mass ÷ Volume=Density

I'm afraid there is no straightforward answer to this. There are many varieties of oranges and they all ripen during certain times of the year. So you could have a constant supply of oranges if you had enough trees.

The only way to grow an orange tree is from an orange seed. Answer: Orange trees are propagated from cuttings. Basically this means cutting a small piece of a branch off and sticking it in the ground and it will grow roots. (It's alot more complicated than that but that is the basic idea) If you grow an orange tree from a seed it will not be 'true' to the parent. This means that if the seed comes from the most beautiful tasting orange the tree that the seed produces may grow horrible oranges.

Lemons are a great source of vitamin C. They are a good source of potassium, fiber, calcium, and vitamin B6. Lemons also contain iron, magnesium, riboflavin, and thiamine (vitamin B1).

Cuties are small because they are a cross between Regular Oranges and manderine Oranges (which are small).

Do you mean if you are hit with an orange, does it leave a bruise? I suppose it depends on how hard / heavy the orange is, how hard it was thrown, and how eaily you bruise. In the proper setting, almost anything can cause a brusie of some kind to form on very sensitive people.

refrigerated oranges will last for weeks. (3) Depending on the freshness at purchase. You can tell when they are past their prime when they appear shriveled or too soft.

When citrus fruits get like this use the juice to flavor a stir fry or cut them up and USe to stuff whole roasted chicken.
