History of the fruit: there are two main groupings: common blondes (high juice yield; low limonin and therefore sweet taste values) and navel blondes (Navel), which are not used to obtain the juice (low juice yield; high values ​​of limonina and therefore of sour taste, whose juice in some cases is used for obtaining concentrated juices). The following common cultivars are part of the group of common blondes: Bionda comune, Belladonna, Ovale, Valencia Late. To the group of navels: Navel and Washington Navel. The nutritional importance of oranges was already known at the end of the 18th century, when important quantities of these fruits were embarked on ships for the prevention of scurvy, a disease caused by the lack of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). A daily level of acid intake is recommended in the Italian adult population

ascorbic acid of 60 mg, therefore considering that on average orange and lemon contain 50 mg / 100 g it is possible to assert that a daily consumption of citrus fruit allows the almost total coverage of the daily requirement of vitamin C
