The first mention of oranges dates back to 2400 BC. This plant originated in China: it is believed that the orange is a hybrid of a mandarin and a pomelo.

Oranges are considered the fruits of the gods. Remember the ancient Greek myths about Hercules? In one of the legends, he stole the apples of the Hesperides, which grew in the garden of Atlanta. It is believed that these "apples" were actually oranges.

Orange helps break down fat. Therefore, those who follow the figure love it so much - it is believed that oranges and orange juice help to lose weight. However, oranges are also used in other ways: for example, they add orange juice to fatty foods, and in Jamaica they even wash floors with oranges

Orange was brought to Europe by Portuguese traders. Europeans liked this fruit so much that they began to grow oranges on their own in special greenhouses. By the way, the word "orange" itself has Dutch roots - it comes from appelsien (Chinese apple).
