Hi Subha, Contrary to what most of us think, this fruit was not named for its color. Instead, the word orange comes from a transliteration of the Sanskrit naranga. Which comes from the Tamil Naru. Naru means fragrance .And Naranga is a fragrant fruit.

Conusmption of citiric acid in limited quanity will do a lot good to the body. In Karnataka, Coorg district is known for growing oranges. I remember the oranges are sold in Nagap Railway station - those who travel by train to New Delhi.

That is some really good information that you posted. I really like oranges and didn't know that it could be used in the ways that you mention. I may try to use some for my skin and see how it does for me. Thank you for that.

Hello dear subathra. I didn't know that orange has this kind of excellent qualities with so many different kinds of vitamines. But most of the time, I prefer orange juice as it is more convenient without having to peel the skin. I am lazy, huh? lol. Thanks for the information about orange and its uses. I will have more oranges and orange juice.
