Orange (scientific name: Citrus sinensis) is the fruit of the orange tree of the Rutaceae citrus plant, also known as orange, sweet orange, yellow fruit, golden ring, and orange. Orange is a citrus fruit that has been planted for a long time as a hybrid of pomelo (Citrus maxima) and mandarin (Citrus reticulata), originating in Southeast Asia. The fruit can be peeled and eaten fresh, and the pulp can also be used as an add-on to other foods such as fruit cake, pulp jelly, etc. Another important use of the fruit is to squeeze the juice. Use a juicer to squeeze the juice and drink it directly. You can also use the sweet and sour characteristics of the juice to cook dishes or mix orange juice with flour and rice noodles to make pastries.
