Sweet, spicy, meaty, juicy, nutritious, this is how you describe your favorite orange fruit! The sweet orange is a hybrid of pomelo (Citrus maxima) and mandarin (Citrus reticulata). Native to Southeast Asia, this citrus fruit is composed of a wide range of varieties, catering to different tastes of people around the world.
Orange varieties grown around the world range from bitter to sweet. The Persian orange, first in Italy in the 11th century, soon began to be widely cultivated in southern Europe. It was a bitter variety and consequently replaced by its sweet counterpart brought to Europe from India by Portuguese traders in the nineteenth 15. The popularity of sweet oranges quickly spread throughout Portugal, Spain, Middle East and East, whose sailors planted citrus trees along trade routes to prevent scurvy. Another story tells of Christopher Columbus as bringing the seeds of oranges, lemons and lemon to Haiti and the Caribbean on his second voyage in 1493. The Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon, first brought oranges and lemons in Florida in 1513. The fruits were then transferred to Hawaii in 1792.
The history of the navel orange, can be traced to a garden in a monastery in Brazil. This variety, also known as Washington, Riverside or the Bahia navel, obtained its name from its "conjoined twins" looks like a human navel. Since leaving the mutation of seedless fruits, the only way to cultivate more of this variety today is the cutting and grafting. However, on rare occasions, mutations can generate more new varieties of orange.
One of the varieties of sweet orange is the Valencia or Murcia orange. The sweet orange is popular for its properties of juice extraction. Being a late season fruit, Valencia oranges are the best alternative for navel oranges, when it is out of season. This was the reason for Valencia oranges being chosen as the official mascot of the 1982 FIFA World Cup. Dubbed as "(Naranjito 'little oranges), the mascot became the colors of the Spanish soccer team.
The blood orange variety dates back to the days of Moorish rule in Sicily. The Genovese and Portuguese crusaders introduced its first sweet variety, Portogallo, in the 15th century. The nutritional properties of blood oranges made this variety very popular in Sicily, thus leading to its importation into the world. Blood Oranges also serve as a cocktail ingredient, besides being used for prepare jams, ice cream and Italian sodas.
A valuable source of vitamin C and antioxidants, oranges excellent way energy drinks and boosters of digestion. Orange Nutritional indicate clearly the innumerable health benefits derived from this citrus fruit. Available in all world in different varieties, oranges are one of the most readily available and more tasty source of vitamins. Not surprisingly, orange juice is a universal favorite!
