Begin with the familiar

One Orange. More than one story.

Peel back one familiar fruit and several connections appear.

A whole orange provides vitamin C along with water, fiber, folate, potassium and naturally occurring plant compounds. Its value is the combination within a varied eating pattern, not a miracle attached to one nutrient.

Vitamin C supports normal functions including collagen formation, iron absorption and antioxidant activity. That does not make an orange a treatment for infection, cancer or another condition.

The fruit is also cultivated, picked, packed and transported. Follow it toward a wider food pattern, or trace the resources and work held inside what we eat.
