What is an orange · the citrus family

Stop 1/4

橙子是什么 · 柑橘家族

The orange is one of the most common members of the citrus family, related to lemon, pomelo, mandarin, and lime. What most people call an 'orange' is the sweet orange; navel and blood oranges belong here.

It has two parts: the segmented flesh inside, and the peel with its white pith outside. The flesh gives water, sugar, and vitamin C, while the pith and membranes hold most of the fiber and flavonoids.

A medium orange is mostly water and low in calories, yet delivers close to a full day's vitamin C in one go — its signature among fruits. Worth noting early: eating a whole orange and drinking a glass of orange juice are not nutritionally the same thing.
