Agricultural Story #18

Hello friends welcome to my blog

Recently, we visited a family, and they offered us orange, which I think was healthier than the carbonated drink, which has become a usual offer to your guests. A knife and bowl were given to use, which we used in peeling the oranges while we had a good discussion time.

Oranges are healthy fruits which are cheaper when in season and can be affordable if you don't have a tree around where you can get them for free. It is loaded with lots of nutrients, which include vitamin C, which is an immune booster.

Oranges can be used to produce fresh orange juice, which is healthier than artificial juice that contains just flavours. It can be a good drink for the family; both old and young can drink it because of its nutritional benefits.

Orange juice is an easy juice to produce; all you need do is wash the oranges, cut them in half and squeeze with your hands or get a manual juice squeezer. Another easier way is by peeling the oranges, removing the seeds, putting them into your blender, adding a little water and blending until it is smooth. Then you sieve and chill. You can also add any sweetener to your choice before chilling.

An orange tree takes a longer time to mature. Some take 2 to 3 years to bear fruits, while some take a longer time depending on the species, the climate condition of the area and the soil type. Some orange trees produce a sweeter and juicy orange, while some produce oranges with a tangy taste, and some are not juicy.

Oranges are fast-selling fruits that many people love to buy; it is a means of generating income for farmers and sellers of such fruits. It also provides job opportunities to people who work where fresh orange juice is being produced in a large quantity.

Although orange is a healthy fruit, some people do not consume it, like people with stomach ulcers, because the acidity of oranges irritates their stomach lining and causes pain and discomfort.

In summary, oranges are a nutritious packed fruit and should not be overlooked if your body system can tolerate them.
