What is its composition?
Native to Mediterranean and tropical regions, Citrus sinensis fruit is called "sweet orange" to distinguish it from "bitter orange" (Citrus aurantium). The cradle of this orange tree lies between the Himalayas and southern China. The Portuguese brought it here around 1400. Since then, its cultivation has spread to many countries. The sweet orange, a small tree in the Rustaceae family, is an ancient hybrid, probably the result of a cross between citrus maxima and citrus reticulata.
