#Repost @victims_of_miseducation This is intersting fact, but in reality the Orange, Grapefruit, and Tangelo are hybrids of different amounts of 2 fruits. The #Mandarin and #Pomelo. It isn't a 50-50 hybrid of the two, but it is a hybrid of the two. Infact all common cirtrus are hybrids of 4 actual species: Mandarin, Key Lime, Citron, and Pomelo. The #orange is unknown in the wild state; is assumed to have #originated in southern #China, northeastern India, and perhaps southeastern Asia, and that they were first cultivated in China around 2500 BC. In 1493, #Columbus #brought #orange #seeds #from #Spain's Canary Island to Haiti, where he grew orange orchards. An orange is a delectable pulpy fruit that belongs to the genus Citrus, the other famous members of which are #lemon, #lime, and #grapefruit. The scientific name of the sweet orange is Citrus sinensis, while the name of the bitter variety is Citrus aurantium. The #orange is considered a #hybrid, possibly between Citrus maxima (#pomelo) and Citrus reticulata (#mandarin).

So, oranges from southern India reached the Roman empire, and became quite popular among the nobility and the military #TheJourneyToAmerica⬇️ Oranges were introduced to America by Spanish explorers and conquerors. The Spanish explorers arrived in South America in the mid-15th century. They probably #initiated #orange #cultivation #in the #16thCentury in Cananeia, an island off the São Paulo coast in Brazil. In the United States, the first orange tree was believed to be planted by Ponce de Leon, a Spanish explorer. He planted the first orange tree near
I literally have NO idea. Have I tasted cilantro? Yes, and I did think it tasted absolutely awful. But I dont think I'd say it tasted like soap. There is a possibility that I do not have the gene, but simply don't like cilantro.
On a different note, I do know I have the gene that makes grapefruit very bitter (tested it in school, and have eaten grapefruit) but I have eaten that shit with a load of sugar since I was like 4 years old and I absolutely love it
i need to know
