Oranges can be kept at room temperature for a day before being refrigerated for up to two weeks and are a great source of vitamin C and fiber. While orange juice offers some nutritional benefits, it is primarily a source of carbohydrates and can lose vitamin C content when improperly stored. Additionally, oranges are rich in antioxidants and are the third most popular flavor globally, after chocolate and vanilla.

ABOUT
ORANGES

source of vitamin C and

on the nutritional scale. While it
may contain vitamin C and
potassium, it provides little more
than a source of carbohydrates in
the form of a natural sugar.
4Orange juice will lose more vitamin
C content when stored in an open
container or one made of plastic
with a lid. Always store it in a glass
container with a screw cap.

A medium orange is
packed with as much fibre
as seven cups of cornflakes.

which neutralise the effects of free
radicals - groups of atoms that
disrupt cell reproduction.
