Delicious Oranges
Nectar of the gods
on Mt. Olympus
Oranges belong
to the group of citrus fruits, but they differ from both lemons and
grapefruit in that they contain more sugar and less acid.
Probably no
citrus fruit is used so extensively as oranges. Because of their
refreshing sub acid flavor, they are much eaten in their fresh state,
both alone and in combination with other foods in numerous salads and
desserts.
