These sensationally sweet Oranges are `King¿ of the citrus world, filled with
segments of juice filled vesicles, with super vibrant yellow / orange appearance
which is pleasing to the eye. The gorgeous, citrusy aroma literally brightens up
your day .
Originating in China from as early as 314BC, it was introduced to Europe
(Andalusia, Spain) back in the 10th Century starting large scale cultivation.
Seeing its success rate, it was quickly snapped up by the Americans and as of
1987, it was found to be the most cultivated tree in the world. Today Brazil,
China, India and the United States top the scales in growing this magnificent
fruit. Lapping up the tropical and sub-tropical climates, this fruit is in awe
of the sun, enjoying a splash of H2O on a regular basis, and when it¿s ready for
harvest it is carefully handpicked from the trees.
Widely used for snacking, this versatile fruit is also used for flavouring of
sweet and savoury dishes, production of fragrances as well as make up and
cleaning products. There is no waste with this fruit as the skin can be grated
to make a garnish or add that extra zing to a recipe.
