Juicy and sweet and renowned for its concentration of vitamin C, oranges make the perfect snack and add a special tang to many recipes; it is no wonder that this is one of the most popular fruits in the world. Oranges are generally available from winter through summer with seasonal variations depending on the variety. Sweet, juicy oranges make a delicious and healthy snack or addition to a meal.
