Sweet orange

Origin and history



The sweet orange, which comes from the orange tree (Citrus sinensis), is an iconic fruit of the citrus family. Originally from China and Southeast Asia, it was introduced to Europe in the 16th century by Portuguese sailors. Unlike the bitter orange (bitter orange tree), the sweet orange is sweet, juicy, and highly prized for its pleasant flavor and high vitamin C content. Over time, it has become one of the most widely consumed fruits in the world, a symbol of vitality and well-being.
