I grew up in a town that is known to be " the city of oranges" , if your oranges or orange juice says from Brasil it probably came from my hometown. So, with that said I LOVE ORANGES. Most of our dessert after lunch and dinner are oranges, now I am passing the tradition to my son, and so far he share the same love for them .
Here some fun facts about oranges
-They are a tropical to semitropical fruit
-Low in calories
-No saturated fats or cholesterol
-Rich in dietary fiber
-Excellent source of vitamin C ( a powerful antioxidant )
-Contain some vitamin A and vitamin B
-Good amount of minerals (potassium and calcium)
-Easy to eat
-Can storage at room temperature for around 1 week and the refrigerator for around 2 weeks.
-There are many many types of oranges varying from very sweet to bitter
I personally think they are a very good gift (love when I get them at Christmas time) so how about as a Valentines Day present ??? I am sure there are going to be plenty chocolate so let's go to the healthy side ... how about ORANGES?
