Google says that:
“Oranges are a good source of vitamin C and B complex. – They lower cholesterol and control blood sugar levels. – Orange peels are highly nutritious, fiber-rich, and edible.”

Mandarin Oranges (Photo #1) are my favorite citrus fruit since my boyhood days. The habit continues.

 I still remember the three orange trees standing behind the outhouse of our ancestral home!

 Koffla, I don't know why the delay occurs! I posted it on Friday at 9:40 PM. Anyway, thanks for your comment. I appreciate. Be safe.

 I have you on my watch list, and it still doesn't show up right away.
I like orange juice, but it spikes my blood sugar something awful, and I don't like to mess with regular oranges. I do like tangerines because they peel so easily, but I don't see them in the stores anymore, except at Christmas.
But we do have the little Mandarin oranges, marketed at Cuties or Halos and I really enjoy them. They peel so easily, and are very sweet.
Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Thank you so much for your post on the blog. I can not even imagine why my blogs are taking so many days to attract the attention of the readers who like to read them. Maybe, I am not following the latest rules that I am supposed to follow when posting blogs! Such delay never happened before. Baby Mandarin oranges are good to eat. Take care and be safe.

 I love oranges but I don't eat them because of the amount of sugar in them which I can't have. I have enough problems with keeping my blood sugar regulated without adding oranges to the mix. I take a vitamin C pill every day to make up for an orange.

I can understand why diabetes should refrain from eating fruits containing sugar! Fortunately, I am not a diabetic! Therefore, I can eat almost all the fruits that I like.
Thanks for your post, Shartaun. Be safe, dear friend.

 I prefer sweetness with some tang. Oranges are the perfect combination.

Right, Starwomyn! Citrus fruits are the perfect combination of sweetness and tang. Be safe always, dear star.
