Orange is the fruit of the citrus tree in the Rutaceae family, a hybrid variety of pomelo and orange. Originating from Southeast Asia, it is cultivated in many parts of China. Oranges contain nutrients such as hesperidin, citric acid, malic acid, sugars, and pectin, which have the effects of dissipating qi, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, lowering fat, and clearing intestines.
