America's favorite fruit, oranges, grow on trees.

On average, Americans consume 80.2 pounds of oranges per year, the majority of that as orange juice.

They are an excellent source of Vitamin C and they also provide some Vitamin A and Calcium to the diet.

California and Florida grow most of the oranges in the United States, with California oranges used primarily for eating and Florida oranges used primarily for juice.
