Oranges

I have fed mine a few slices at a time without incident. You want to be very careful that you never feed anything that will throw the bacteria in their rumen off whack. I did it as an experiment in natural parasite control.

There are over 600 different types of oranges Way to many to name them all. They are all around the same texture but different in many ways

It came from the Old World to the New World due to the Columbian Exchange.

There is no scientific research that has yet to link clementines to better sleep.

No, they eat other creatures, primarily rodents and frogs.

The real problem with some citrus fruits is the amount of sugar they contain and their high glycemic index.

Two were squabbling over an orange half that is out on a feeder in my backyard today. It's there because I am hoping to attract Orioles. Apparently, chickadees must also eat oranges. Who'd have thunk.

Each bushel contains 25 pounds of bell peppers. On average, you will probably end up with about 200 bell peppers per bushel.

Orange rinds are very good for the health. It is concentrated in Vitamin 'C'.... you can cook it like a semi jam consistency with sugar and use it on rice dishes. This is a middle eastern style of rice called "Shireen Pollo"

Yes, they do have stems. Generally oranges or tangerines with stems can be found at an organic market.

Yes. see, the orange like the fruit came before the color orange. the color orange came from the orange (fruit), how it was colored. so if the orange were to say have been purple then instead of purple the color purple would've been orange. i know, it's a hard concept to understand. but, that is the answer.

It depends on who you're talking to.

There are only 6 "nutrients" : fats, amino acids, and carbohydrates.

But there are lots of other requirements to maintain health.

A partial list would be water, vitamins, minerals, bulk (called fiber).

A orange is pretty tough because its has its peal which acts like a protective covering to the orange. But when it is bruised or the peal is taken off or anything in that matter, is hurt the orange will begin to rot bacause the ethymene will take away the fruits nutrients and vitamins the orange needs to live.

I have sprouted it easily by drying it for 1 day then plant it in some starter soil or some good soil. Put it in a sunny area and water until damp not soggy. Plant it a inch under the soil. It could take a month or a week depends if the seed is good. If I could grow it in Winnipeg, MB you could grow it(our winter is like minus 40 Celsius or colder and it snowed in June.)

they aren't

An orange tree smells like fresh citrus when you get near it. The smell is stronger, the more oranges that are on the tree.

Oranges contain acid in order to protect the fruit and its nutrients.

The acid in oranges provides a defense against bacteria, mold and yeast, which can't grown if the acidity is too high. Also certain nutrients, like vitamin C, are more stable in acid, and will not be destroyed as fast.

Acids are also important in foods because it gives sour flavors, determines colors, and may be able to chelate metals that can react with oils or other nutrients. They can also slow or stop the browning that occurs when fruits are cut. (For examples, how apples turn brown after cutting.)

i think pregnant woman can eat oranges since they have vitamin c and folic acid which is good for the baby and the mother but too much of it leads to the baby being orange when its born. atleast only half a glass a day or only 4 glasses a week of orange juice will do. dont over do it unless u want to stay in hospital for 2 weeks waiting for your babys orange colour to fade off.

Unripe lemons are green. The more yellow, the riper. In fact, some of the lemons in California will turn so yellow they are almost light orange.

On orange trees,

Or at the store,

?

Google. :)

The same way that gasoline gets from the refinery to the service station: it travels in refrigerated, stainless steel tanker trucks to packaging facilities (usually dairies) across the country where it is temporarily stored, packaged and distributed.

I cut the peel off with a large knife...very easy and then cut the watermelon up into edible pieces. The skin of a watermelon is only about an eighth of an inch thick, but there is also a thicker layer called the rind that's about 1 inch thick. You want to remove the rind, too since it's usually sour (but you can make pickles out of it that are quite good). Unless you want to keep the watermelon whole (which would be very difficult) I suggest you cut it in half crossways and then into wedges. Then you can run a sharp knife between the pink flesh and the rind and remove the pink part of the wedges to use as you like.
