Oranges are native to China, mainly produced in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and south of the Yangtze River. Thousands of years of cultivation history certainly can't tell the specific location. After Arabs spread all over Eurasia, oranges are still called "China apples" in Holland and Germany. China is one of the important origins of citrus, with rich citrus resources and excellent varieties, and its cultivation history is over 4,000 years. According to textual research, it was not until A.D. 147 1 year that oranges, tangerines and other citrus fruit trees were introduced from China to Lisbon, Portugal, and in A.D. 1665 to Florida, USA.
Citrus in the world is mainly distributed in the area south of 35 north latitude, which is warm and humid, and the area with warmer water body can be pushed northward to 45 north latitude. Citrus is produced in 135 countries in the world, with an annual output of102822 million tons and an area of 1073 million mu, ranking first among the hundred fruits. Brazil's output is the first 124,252,600 tons, followed by the United States,16,335,200 tons, and China is the third.
Citrus in China is distributed between north latitude 16 ~ 37, with the highest elevation of 2,600 meters (Batang, Sichuan), starting from Sanya, Hainan Province in the south, reaching Shaanxi, Gansu and Henan in the north, Taiwan Province Province in the east and Yarlung Zangbo River Valley in Tibet in the west. However, the economic planting areas of citrus in China are mainly concentrated between 20 ~ 33 north latitude and below 700 ~ 1000 meters above sea level. There are 19 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) producing citrus in China, including Taiwan Province province. Citrus is mainly produced in Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Hubei, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Chongqing and Taiwan Province provinces 10 provinces (cities, districts), followed by Shanghai, Guizhou, Yunnan and Jiangsu provinces (cities), and also cultivated in Shaanxi, Henan, Hainan, Anhui and Gansu provinces. Citrus is grown in 985 counties (cities, districts) in China. In a study conducted by Canadian researchers, the total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels of 16 adult men and 9 adult women were higher than normal, and they drank orange juice 1 cup (250ml), 2 cups and 3 cups every day for 4 weeks. The results showed that drinking 1 cup, 2 cups and 3 cups of orange juice every day could increase the plasma vitamin C level by 2. 1 fold, 3. 1 fold and 3.8 times respectively after 4 weeks. Drinking three glasses of orange juice every day can increase the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) by 265,438+0%, the level of folic acid by 65,438+08% and the ratio of low-density lipoprotein to high-density lipoprotein by 65,438+06% after four weeks. HDL can remove cholesterol from arterial wall and prevent atherosclerosis. It is believed that drinking 750ml orange juice every day can effectively improve the blood lipid metabolism of patients with hypercholesterolemia and is beneficial to cardiovascular health. Citrus fruits are rich in nutrition and good in color, smell and taste. It can be eaten fresh or processed into various processed products, mainly fruit juice. Citrus production ranks first among 100 fruits, and citrus juice accounts for 3/4 of juice, which is widely favored by consumers. According to the analysis of the Central Institute of Health, the edible part of citrus contains 0.05mg of riboflavin, 0.3mg of nicotinic acid, 0.6 mg of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), 0.9g of protein, 0. 1g of fat, 0/2g of sugar 12g of crude fiber and 0.2g of inorganic salt. The content of carotene (provitamin A) in citrus is second only to apricot and higher than other fruits.

Edit this paragraph | The benefits of returning to eat oranges Chinese medicine believes that oranges have the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, resolving phlegm and strengthening the spleen, and promoting qi and quenching thirst. It is an excellent fruit for men, women and children (especially the elderly, patients with acute and chronic bronchitis and cardiovascular diseases). Oranges are treasures: not only the pulp has high medicinal value, but also its skin, core, collaterals and leaves are "authentic medicinal materials". Orange peel, medically known as "dried tangerine peel", has the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, relieving cough, strengthening spleen and regulating stomach, and is often used to prevent and treat chest pain, hernia, breast distension, breast lump, stomachache and dyspepsia. Its stone is called "orange stone", which has the effect of dispersing stagnation and relieving pain. Clinically, it is often used to treat testicular swelling and pain and mastitis swelling and pain. Orange collaterals, that is, reticular meridians on orange pulp, have the effects of dredging collaterals, eliminating phlegm, promoting qi circulation and promoting blood circulation, and are often used to treat phlegm and blood stasis cough. Because orange collaterals are rich in vitamin P, it can effectively prevent and treat hypertension, and it is good for the elderly to eat more. Orange leaves have the effects of soothing the liver, regulating qi, reducing swelling and detoxifying, and are important drugs for treating hypochondriac pain and breast swelling pain. The white inner layer of orange peel is scraped off, and only the epidermis is called "orange red", which has the effects of regulating lung qi and resolving phlegm, and is often used to treat cough and hiccup in clinic.
Oranges are rich in sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose), vitamins, malic acid, citric acid, protein, fat, dietary fiber and various minerals. A recent study by Australian scientific and industrial research institutions shows that eating/kloc-0 oranges a day can protect people from certain cancers (such as oral cancer, laryngeal cancer and gastric cancer). Although oranges have many benefits, they should be eaten more often than more. Chinese medicine believes that oranges are warm and easy to get angry when eaten too much, which will lead to symptoms such as aphtha, dry mouth, dry throat and constipation. Because orange pulp contains certain organic acids, it is best not to eat oranges on an empty stomach, so as not to stimulate the gastric mucosa and cause discomfort. In addition, oranges also contain a lot of carotene. If you eat too much at one time or eat too much continuously in the near future, the concentration of carotene in the blood is high, which will lead to yellowing of the skin. At this time, in addition to drinking more water, we should not eat orange fruits for the time being, and we should also limit the intake of foods rich in carotene. After about 1 month, the skin color will return to normal. Edit this paragraph | Back to the top and medicine The World Health Organization put forward in the report Diet, Nutrition and Prevention of Chronic Diseases that citrus fruits can effectively prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. Folic acid in citrus fruits can reduce plasma homocysteine, which can damage arterial blood vessels and is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Citrus fruits are rich in potassium, which helps to regulate blood pressure and maintain normal heart rhythm. Vitamin C, carotenoids and flavonoids all have anti-lipid oxidation effects, which can prevent the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis.
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization of Australia reviewed and analyzed 48 studies on citrus fruits and diseases, and found that eating one kind of fruit (non-citrus) every day can reduce the stroke risk by 4%, while eating one kind of orange fruit every day can reduce the stroke risk by 19%. This fully shows that citrus fruits have extraordinary cardiovascular protection.
You can eat oranges often, but don't eat too much. It is recommended to eat 1-3 oranges every day. Eating too much at a time is easy to get angry, which will promote stomatitis or periodontitis and may also lead to yellowing of the skin. Su Shi once wrote a poem: "A good scenery in a year, especially orange, yellow and green". Although modern people are confused about oranges and oranges, oranges and oranges have rich nutritional value. Oranges contain vitamin C, calcium, fiber, a small amount of protein and fat, and are rich in glucose, fructose, sucrose, malic acid, citric acid, carotene, thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinic acid and ascorbic acid, which can lower cholesterol and prevent coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis. Oranges also have high nutritional value. In addition to water, pulp mainly contains vitamin C, malic acid, succinic acid, sugar and pectin. It can stimulate appetite and quench thirst, help digestion and prevent constipation.
Citrus is a native plant in China, and its cultivation has a long history of nearly 4000 years. There are many varieties, including: early orange, milk orange, water orange, wrapped orange, warm orange, kumquat, sand orange, tangerine and cotton orange. In China, oranges also represent "auspiciousness" and "reunion". In many places, people get married, have new houses and eat oranges, which means having children early. In ancient times, it was very common to use oranges as place names: Xiaoxiang had orange township, Dongting had orange lane, Pengze had orange market, Changsha had orange island and so on.
Oranges are all treasures, and pulp, skin, core and collaterals can all be used as medicine. The exocarp of an orange is called "Chenpi" after drying in the sun (named Chenpi because of its good medicinal effect). The white reticular silk on orange meat, called "orange silk", contains a certain amount of vitamin P, which has the effects of dredging collaterals, resolving phlegm, regulating qi and resolving food stagnation. Orange stone tastes bitter and non-toxic, and has the function of promoting qi circulation and relieving pain. Can be used for treating hernia and lumbago. Even the roots and leaves of oranges can be used as medicine, which has different effects such as soothing the liver, strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach. Citrus pulp is also an important raw material for light industry, which can be processed into canned food, candied fruit, jam, fruit cake, peptone, fructose, fruit juice, fruit wine and other beverages. Pectin, citric acid, hesperidin and essential oil can be extracted during processing, and orange peel can be used as raw materials for extracting vitamin A, vitamin P and vitamin C. Orange peel also has many ingenious uses in daily life. It can beautify and protect skin, clean porcelain with tea rust, deodorize and be used as fertilizer.
However, although oranges are good, don't be greedy!
1, eating too many oranges leads to stones.
Oranges are rich in water and nutrients, and contain a lot of more than ten kinds of nutrients such as vitamin C, citric acid and glucose. Proper consumption can nourish the body, especially for patients with chronic hepatitis and hypertension. Eating oranges can improve the detoxification ability of the liver, accelerate the transformation of cholesterol and prevent arteriosclerosis. Proper consumption can increase appetite, but improper consumption is useless.
Children should not eat more oranges.
Oranges are rich in carotene. If eaten in large quantities, about 500 grams a day for two consecutive months, high carotene may appear, which is manifested as yellowing of hands and feet and gradually infecting the whole body, accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and general fatigue, and sometimes easily confused with hepatitis.
Carotene is converted into vitamin A in the liver, but a large amount of carotene can not be converted in time in children's liver, so it is deposited in the whole body with blood and has adverse reactions to the body.
Some children eat too many oranges, and there will be what Chinese medicine calls "getting angry", such as glossitis, periodontitis and pharyngitis. Therefore, we think that children should not eat more oranges. If you eat for a long time, stop eating 1~2 weeks before eating.
Pay attention to the following points when eating oranges:
First, control consumption.
According to the measurement, eating three oranges a day can meet a person's daily demand for vitamin C. If you eat too much and take too much vitamin C, your body will metabolize more oxalic acid, which will easily lead to urinary calculi and kidney calculi.
Second, don't eat oranges with radishes.
In recent years, through a large number of clinical observations, scientists have found that cruciferous vegetables such as radish can quickly produce a substance called thiocyanate after being ingested by human body, which will metabolize to produce an antithyroid substance-thiocyanate. The production of this substance is in direct proportion to the intake. At this time, if you eat fruits containing a lot of plant pigments, such as oranges, pears, apples, grapes and so on. After the flavonoids are decomposed by bacteria in the intestine, the inhibitory effect of thiocyanate on thyroid can be strengthened, resulting in goiter.
Therefore, experts remind people that it is not advisable to eat fruits such as oranges, apples and grapes immediately after eating cruciferous vegetables such as radishes. So be careful when eating these foods!
Third, oranges and milk should not be eaten together.
Protein in milk can easily react with fruit acid and vitamin C in oranges and solidify into lumps, which not only affects digestion and absorption, but also causes abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms.
In addition, elderly people with deficiency and cold of gastrointestinal, kidney and lung functions should not eat more, so as not to induce abdominal pain, soreness of waist and knees and other symptoms.
Pregnant women should not eat more than three oranges a day, and the total weight should be less than 250 grams. Tips for sweetening lime
Winter is the best season for oranges. However, limes are sometimes encountered. At this time, there is a way to turn lime into sweet orange. The method is super simple. Put the oranges in the basket of the bike and walk around. Try the oranges in the basket again when you come back. Ah, that's incredible. The lime somehow turned into a sweet orange. In winter, people generally like to stay indoors and push bicycles around, which can just alleviate the lack of exercise, and eating oranges can also get vitamin C, which is really killing two birds with one stone, both beautiful and healthy. You must try.
Put the oranges in the bicycle basket and take a walk nearby. Why do oranges get sweet? After using this method, will oranges really become sweet? By detecting the components of oranges, it can be found that the sugar content of lime is 1 1.6, and the sugar content is still 1 1.6 after this method. But you will obviously feel sweet when you eat it. In fact, the change of sweetness is related to the different acidity of oranges. Oranges contain both sweetness and sourness. Acids are vulnerable to impact, so they will decrease after impact. In other words, because the acid is reduced, it feels sweet. Check the acidity. Before using this method, it was 6.6, and after using it, it became 2. 1. Because the bicycle basket shakes, the acid is impacted, so it is reduced. This will make the orange sweet, but I don't agree to give it too much impact. The impact of the same size as the bicycle basket is the most suitable. In addition, because the common word "orange" contains an auspicious meaning, many people will buy orange pots for display during the Spring Festival, so it is also called "New Year orange".
