'''Oranges''' are the [[fruit|fruits]] of an orange [[tree]], one of the most common [[citrus]] fruits. Oranges are widely grown in warmer climates and are distributed worldwide. The name "orange" refers both to the fruit and [[Orange (color)|its color]] — the color is named for the fruit.

mTheThe flavors of orange vary from [[sweet]] to [[sour]]. The fruit is commonly peeled and eaten fresh, or squeezed for its juice. It has a thick bitter rind that is usually discarded, but can be used in certin recipes as flavoring or a [[garnish]]. The outer-most layer of the rind is called orange zest, and it has a similar flavor to the inner part of the orange. The white part of the rind is almost always discarded.
