An orange is a citrus fruit that grows on trees, is juicy, and high in vitamin C. Juice from the orange is also a popular drink, and is usually served with breakfast. Oranges were introduced to Florida, where orange trees frequently dot the landscape, by Juan Ponce de Leon in the 16th century. Oranges were also grown in great swathes across California in Orange county and the Napa Valley area; however, larger oranges grown elsewhere removed the market for these fruits[1] and many of these orange groves have disappeared.
