Orange

Dehydrated orange is a product prepared from fresh orange, peeled, cut and subjected to dehydration by hot air and subsequently sweetened. Compared to fresh fruit, dehydrated fruit loses water and concentrates fiber, sugars and minerals, thus becoming a nutritious, satiating and not excessively caloric snack.

Orange is a fruit native to the Citrus aurantium tree, an evergreen up to 12 meters high, native to China and Japan, has elongated and fleshy leaves and white flowers. The shoots are always green, never reddish. An adult tree produces about 500 fruits per year. 

Imported into Europe, the orange fruit was soon the subject of intensive cultivation in the southernmost regions of the continent, particularly in Spain, Greece and Italy, where Sicily is famous for the quantity and quality of oranges exported all over the world.

According to Greek mythology, the fruits of orange were wonderful golden globes, that is, oranges, a symbol of fecundity and love.

Properties and Benefits

Oranges represent an important source of vitamins: especially C and A, but also a large part of those of group B, (in particular Thiamine, Riboflavin and in addition to vitamin PP or Niacin) and for the daily requirement of vitamin C, just consume 2 or 3 oranges a day. 

Vitamin C is important because it helps strengthen the immune system and thus helps prevent colds and colds. Oranges also "boast" a high content of bioflavonoids, substances that together with vitamin C, are very important especially for the reconstitution of connective tissue collagen. For this reason they can promote the strengthening of bones and teeth, but also of cartilage, tendons and ligaments.

Vitamin C is therefore one of the main and most beneficial elements contained in oranges. 

In addition to vitamins, this fruit possesses high amounts of potassium, an essential mineral involved in blood pressure control, heart health, nerve transmission and hydro-saline exchange at the cellular level. In oranges, their richness in fiber helps relieve constipation and also stimulates the digestive system to help it eliminate toxins. Oranges are also rich in carotenoids, substances that help protect the eyes and eyesight.
