Oranges are rich and comprehensive in nutrition, contain a lot of vitamin C, and are easy to absorb, which is helpful for children's brain development. Rich in vitamins C and P, can enhance resistance, increase the elasticity of capillaries, lower blood cholesterol, and prevent pregnancy-induced hypertension. The cellulose and pectin substances in orange can promote intestinal peristalsis, which is beneficial for pregnant women to clean the bowel and eliminate harmful substances in the body.
Pregnant women try not to take medicine when they have a cold, but orange peel is sweet, bitter and warm in nature, and its effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm is better than that of tangerine peel. It is a good medicine for cold cough, loss of appetite, chest and abdominal pain. However, oranges tend to be cool, so don’t eat too much at one time. If you eat too much, it will easily hurt your liver qi, cause deficiency and fever, dry mouth and throat, red tongue with little coating, etc. It is not suitable for people to eat.
Pay attention when eating:
The sugar content of oranges is relatively high. If pregnant women consume too much sugar, it is easy to get gestational diabetes, so it is best not to eat more than two oranges a day. Do not drink milk before and after eating oranges, because the protein in milk will coagulate when it encounters fruit acid, which will affect digestion and absorption. At the same time, it is not suitable to eat before meals or on an empty stomach. The organic acids contained in oranges will stimulate the gastric mucosa, which is not good for the stomach.
*Edible Compatibility：
appropriate:
1. Orange and mayonnaise: The combination of vitamin C in orange and vitamin E in mayonnaise has the effects of promoting blood circulation, skin care, anti-aging, and anti-cancer.
2. Orange and cream: Cream contains high cholesterol ingredients, while oranges contain a large amount of fiber that can eliminate cholesterol and help reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the body.
Competing:
1. Oranges and shrimps: When the calcium contained in shrimps and the tannic acid in oranges are eaten before and after, they will combine into substances that are difficult to digest, which can easily irritate the stomach and cause vomiting and other symptoms.
2. Oranges and pork: The protein in pork combines with the tannins in oranges to form a precipitate, which is not conducive to human digestion. Eating large amounts one after another may cause nausea and abdominal pain. More importantly, it affects the body's absorption of protein components.
3. Orange and crab: Crab is a cold thing. If paired with orange, which has the property of gathering dampness and producing phlegm, it will easily lead to qi stagnation and phlegm accumulation, affecting health.
Do not drink milk before and after eating oranges, because the protein in milk will coagulate when encountering fruit acid, which affects digestion and absorption.
Cooking Skills：The fruit is round, slightly flat up and down, the peel and pulp are not easy to separate, the capsule flap is tight, there are generally 10 flaps, and the taste is sweet and sour. The fruit can be eaten raw, mostly used as a fruit after meals or juiced for drinking, and can also be made into candied fruit, jam, fruit wine, and processed into canned food.
Notes：It is not advisable to eat before meals or on an empty stomach, otherwise the organic acids contained in oranges will irritate the gastric mucosa, which is not good for the stomach.
Hesperidin (Hesperidin) in the peel and nerol (Nerol) extracted from the flower are both available for medicinal purposes. Many orange juices commonly sold in Hong Kong are made from concentrated orange pulp exported from Brazil, not freshly squeezed locally.
