Health Benefits of Orange

Oranges provide over 100% of the daily vitamin C requirement per medium fruit, making them one of the most efficient natural immune-support foods. They contain flavonoids including hesperidin, which research links to improved blood vessel function and reduced inflammation. The combination of fiber and natural sugars in oranges produces a lower glycemic response than orange juice.

How to Track Orange Accurately

Accurately tracking orange requires knowing both the exact weight and preparation method. Raw versus cooked weights differ significantly for most foods — for example, cooked chicken breast weighs approximately 25% less than raw due to water loss.
