Oranges are among the world’s most popular fruits.
Also called sweet oranges, they grow on orange trees and belong to a large group of fruits known as citrus fruits.
Their true origin is a mystery, but the cultivation of oranges is thought to have started in eastern Asia thousands of years ago.
Today, they are grown in most warm regions of the world and consumed either fresh or as juice.
Oranges are a healthy source of fiber, vitamin C, thiamine, folate, and antioxidants. They have multiple health benefits.
This article explains everything you need to know about oranges.
Nutrition facts
Here are the nutrients in about half of a large orange (100 grams):
* Calories: 47
* Water: 87%
* Protein: 0.9 grams
* Carbs: 11.8 grams
* Sugar: 9.4 grams
* Fiber: 2.4 grams
* Fat: 0.1 grams
Carbs
Oranges are mainly composed of carbs and water, with very little protein and fat and few calories.
Simple sugars — such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose — are the dominant form of carbs in oranges. They are responsible for the fruit’s sweet taste.
Despite their sugar content, oranges have a low glycemic index.
This is a measure of how quickly sugar enters your bloodstream after a meal.
Low GI values are associated with numerous health benefits.
Oranges’ low GI is explained by their high polyphenol and fiber content, which moderates the rise in blood sugar.
Fiber
Oranges are a good source of fiber. One large orange (184 grams) packs around 18% of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI).
The main fibers found in oranges are pectin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin.
Dietary fiber is associated with many beneficial health effects, including improved digestive health, weight loss, and cholesterol.

Vitamins and minerals
Oranges are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin C, thiamine, folate, and potassium.
* Vitamin C. Oranges are an excellent source of vitamin C. One large orange provides over 100% of the RDI.
* Thiamine. One of the B vitamins, also called vitamin B1, thiamine is found in a wide variety of foods.
* Folate. Also known as vitamin B9 or folic acid, folate has many essential functions and is found in many plant foods.
* Potassium. Oranges are a good source of potassium. High intake of potassium can lower blood pressure in people who already have high levels and may reduce your risk of heart disease .
Health benefits of oranges
Human and animal studies indicate that regular consumption of oranges is beneficial for health.
Heart health
Heart disease is currently the world’s most common cause of premature death.
Flavonoids — especially hesperidin — in oranges may have protective effects against heart disease.
Clinical studies in humans note that daily intake of orange juice for four weeks has a blood-thinning effect and may reduce blood pressure significantly.
Fibers also seem to play a role. Intake of isolated fibers from citrus fruits has been shown to decrease blood cholesterol levels.
Taken together, it is likely that regular consumption of oranges may help lower your risk of heart disease.
Kidney stone prevention Oranges are a good source of citric acid and citrates, which are believed to help prevent kidney stone formation.
Potassium citrate is often prescribed to patients with kidney stones. Citrates in oranges seem to have similar effects.
Anemia prevention
Anemia is a condition characterized by low levels of red blood cells or hemoglobin, decreasing its ability to carry oxygen. It is often caused by iron deficiency.
Although oranges are not a good source of iron, they are an excellent source of organic acids, such as vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and citric acid.
Both vitamin C and citric acid can increase your body’s absorption of iron from the digestive tract.
When eaten with iron-rich food, oranges may help prevent anemia.
