Oranges, flesh only, weighed with peel and pips

Oranges are citrus fruit. This entry describes the flesh only, but the figures are based on the fruit’s weight including peel and pips, rather than the weight of the flesh alone. Per 100g weighed this way, oranges provide 5.8g of carbohydrate, 1.2g of fibre and 37mg of vitamin C, with an energy content of 114 kJ.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Fibre contributes to normal bowel function. The carbohydrate in orange flesh is mainly naturally occurring sugar, which contributes to total carbohydrate intake. The flesh contains little fat and only trace amounts of salt.
