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!

For the life of me I am unable to understand why there is always a delay for your posts to show on the front page. You wrote this Friday the 18th, and this post is still not showing.

Thank you for your contribution to Foto Friday!

 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.
