Product Use |
Oranges are round citrus fruits that are typically grown in warm, subtropical regions. The top three producers of oranges in the world are Brazil, China, and India. Other major producers include the United States, Mexico, and Spain.
The production of oranges involves a labor-intensive process that begins with the planting of orange trees. These trees can take up to three years to produce fruit, and once they start bearing fruit, they can continue to do so for up to 50 years. The flowers on the orange tree usually appear in the early spring and are hand-pollinated to ensure optimal fruit growth.
As the oranges ripen, they are hand-picked from the tree and sorted according to size and quality. They are then washed to remove any dirt or debris and waxed to improve their appearance and shelf life. After this, the oranges are packaged and shipped to markets and supermarkets around the world.
