Oranges are grown all over the world, but Florida oranges <\/a>are the most popular oranges. Even oranges grown in California can’t compete with the popularity of Florida oranges. Why do people love these oranges more than others? It’s a combination of the taste of the citrus fruit <\/a>and the care and effort that go into the growing of the oranges. <\/p>\n

Oranges were originally brought to Florida by explorers who came to Florida after visiting tropical islands. It’s often speculated that Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon was the first person to plant orange trees in Florida. He didn’t know that he would be starting a tradition that would eventually bring in millions of dollars in revenue and employ more than 75,000 people in Florida. <\/p>\n

The tropical climate in Florida combined with the near constant sunshine that Florida is famous for turned out to be the ideal growing conditions for oranges. The unique growing conditions in Florida, which are not the same as the growing conditions anywhere else in the world, produce oranges that are exceptionally juicy, sweet and delicious.<\/p>\n

Oranges are the biggest cash crop in Florida, and Florida citrus farmers take their oranges seriously. Farmers spend a lot of time and money continually upgrading and improving their citrus groves and tending to the trees to make sure that the fruit that is produced is the best possible quality citrus fruit. Their efforts pay off, because Florida oranges are prized around the world for their brilliant colors and great sweet taste. <\/p>\n

Florida oranges and grapefruits <\/a>are a great gift for the holidays because they are healthy, can be eaten by almost anyone even if they medical or dietary issues, and are naturally sweet and delicious. There is a long history of giving oranges as gifts during the winter holidays that started when oranges were rare and exotic fruits that were expensive and hard to find. Oranges are plentiful these days, and you can find citrus gifts in all price ranges, but the gift of oranges is still a gift that loved ones love to get during the holidays. <\/p>\n

You can also order oranges for your own family for the holidays. If you want to watch your weight or sugar intake during the chaotic holiday season when unhealthy but delicious food is everywhere stocking up on delicious and healthy oranges is a great way to watch your diet without denying yourself the sweets that you love. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
