A little history of the sweet orange

Over 4,000 years ago, the Chinese already appreciated the sweet orange for its medicinal, fragrant and purifying properties. According to one interpretation, the "golden apples" of the Hesperides garden (in Greek mythology) were actually oranges. Unknown to the Greeks, they resembled apples. Their strange golden color was that of orange peel. This explains why, by extension, citrus fruits are sometimes called "hesperides", in reference to the labours of Hercules and "his mission to gather and bring back the golden apples from the garden of the Hesperides". Oranges were introduced to Europe in the 16th century by Portuguese navigators returning from China. In German, the sweet orange is known as the "Chinese apple". Today, the sweet orange, the result of multiple crossbreeding, accounts for around 70% of the world's citrus production.
