Aroma: Citrusy, sweet, bright, light, fresh, bold, tangy
Wild and Sweet Orange’s citrusy, bright, fresh scent is uplifting! And oranges are one of the most popular of all fruits.
In 1498, the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama was on an expedition when his men became severely ill. Most of the men on the voyage died. The remaining crew sailed to a port and obtained oranges. Within days of eating the oranges, the ailing men regained their health. It was common in those days for sailors on ships to become ill due to vitamin C deficiency, a disease called scurvy. Eating citrus fruits was the solution to reversing the illness.
In Chinese medicine, the dried orange fruit was taken as a remedy for swelling in the stomach and indigestion; the peel was taken for coughs, to help the spleen and stomach, and as a tonic for the body.
