Other Names：Navel Oranges
Product Description：Navel oranges are not native to Taiwan. As early as 1820, the sweet oranges in the orchard of a Brazilian monastery had bud mutations, and navel oranges were born in the world. It is characterized by an undeveloped by-fruit at the top of the fruit's peel, resulting in a distinctive scar that resembles a human navel, hence the name navel orange. The whole fruit has no seeds, and its appearance is slightly larger than ordinary oranges. The average weight of each orange is about 300-350 grams, which is quite suitable for consumption.
Variety：Sweet orange is also classified as citrus, accounting for about 58.3% of the world's citrus production. It is the main cultivated species in Europe, America and Brazil. Except for some fresh food, most of them are mainly processed as juice. Sweet orange is divided into [sweet orange] (common orange) oranges), [navel oranges], [blood oranges], [sugar oranges], etc.
Taiwanese orange
Oranges are native to Xinhui County, Guangdong Province, and have a history of more than 250 years. Oranges are a general name, and they contain many strains. It was only cultivated in large quantities in the Jianan area. The Taiwan orange strain was originally recorded as "Xinhui Orange" by Professor Yuichiro Tanaka in Japan, and Professor Zhang Wencai of Huazhong Agricultural University in mainland China came to Taiwan for field observation and thought it might be "Xinhui Orange". The result of the comparison shows that the DNA types of the willow oranges in Taiwan are different from the Xinhui oranges and Mingliu oranges in the mainland, so it is impossible to determine whether they are Xinhui oranges or Mingliu oranges, and the appearance is not half-willow or small-leaved willow, whether it is dark willow Orange, still needs to be further explored.

Notes：people taking medicine
Pomelo and grapefruit contain "furanocoumarins" (furanocoumarins, a group of natural organic compounds found in fruits and vegetables), which may interact with certain drugs and may cause serious adverse reactions. Therefore, it is best for people who are taking medicine Avoid eating pomelo.
Furocoumarins can inhibit a metabolic enzyme called "CYP3A4" in the human body. This enzyme mainly exists in the liver and small intestine. Since many drugs need to be metabolized and excreted by CYP3A4, once it is inhibited, it will affect the drug. Metabolism may cause the drug to stay in the blood for a longer time, causing the drug concentration in the blood to be too high, which will cause adverse reactions, serious and even drug poisoning. Special attention should be paid to the fact that its effect of inhibiting drug metabolism can last for several hours or even 2 to 3 days, and the occurrence of side effects cannot be completely avoided even if the medicine is taken at intervals.
women taking birth control pills
Studies in the United States have confirmed that pomelo will hinder the body's absorption of contraceptives, leading to the failure of contraceptives. If you are sexually active, are taking birth control pills and don't want to be a mother yet, it is best to avoid pomelo.
Therefore, it is recommended that people who are taking medications, especially those that:
Antihyperlipidemic drugs (atorvastatin, lovastatin, simvastatin), antihypertensive drugs (amlodipine, felodipine, nifedipine, verapamil), antiarrhythmic drugs (amiodarone, quinidine, dronedarone), sedative hypnotics (diazepam, midazolam, triazolam, buspirone), immunosuppression Drugs (cyclosporine), antiepileptic drugs (carbamazepine), anticoagulant drugs (warfarin), etc.
