Overview

The tangy, juicy sweetness of oranges has made them a mainstay on our kitchen tables, as snacks and even as healthy desserts. Oranges and cartons of orange juice are a sight we take for granted on supermarket shelves and the breakfast table, but the story of how they got there is little known. Oranges examines the tantalizing origins of the fruit, and surveys the wide range of varieties that now comprise the orange family. Charting the fruit's history and cultivation, Oranges records its dramatic journey to the Americas. Oranges deals with practical complexities of cultivation and production in a clear and engaging manner and details the challenges facing modern producers and consumers.
