“ORANGE” originates from Southeast Asia, especially the regions of Southern China, Northeast India, and Malaysia. It then spread to other parts of the world through trade and exploration. Oranges were introduced to Europe in the Middle Ages by Arab traders and explorers. This fruit was initially considered a luxury item, then it was widely cultivated in Mediterranean countries.

Different varieties of oranges include Valencia, Mandarin, Thompson, Beirut and Blood, and this fruit is found in a variety of flavors such as sour, sweet and bitter, each of which has its own unique use. Sweet orange has a much more pleasant taste and smell, and its consumption is more common both in the form of fruit and juice, and in various desserts and foods.

Oranges can change color even after picking. In hot climates, oranges may reabsorb chlorophyll, causing them to turn orange if they were green when harvested. One of the key developments in the history of orange juice was the production of concentrated frozen orange juice, which allowed for easier storage and transportation. This made orange juice a more accessible and convenient drink for consumers. Whether eaten fresh, juiced or used in various culinary applications, oranges are a versatile and nutritious fruit that is enjoyed around the world.
