Description

Orange trees are trees, rarely shrubs. They likely originate from the subtropical border areas of China and Vietnam, and do not grow wild anywhere. In the 15th century, they were brought to Europe by Portuguese traders and soon after to America following its discovery. Today, they are widespread in all subtropical regions, but they do not thrive in the tropics due to excessive humidity. They are the most cultivated citrus fruits in the world.

The fruits are a quality source of vitamin C and are consumed fresh, canned, or pressed into refreshing juice. Nearly 90% of orange production is processed industrially. Pectin is extracted from the peels, and primarily essential oils, which are used for flavoring food and in cosmetics, with lesser use in medicine for making tinctures.

The flowers are used for their fragrance and flavor as a modifying ingredient in various tea blends. In folk medicine, the petals are used boiled with salt to calm nerves, against asthma, high blood pressure, fever, and vomiting, and boiled with sugar to combat loss of appetite.
