Orange

Our customers use oranges because of their natural sweetness, refreshing flavor, and high nutritional value, making them one of the most widely used fruits in food and beverage production. Oranges are commonly processed into juices, concentrates, extracts, and oils, which are used in beverages, desserts, sauces, and flavorings. Their balanced sweet-tart taste enhances a wide range of products, while their high vitamin C content supports immune health and wellness marketing claims. Orange peel and essential oils are also used for flavoring and aroma in both food and non-food products. Additionally, their bright color improves visual appeal, and their availability in shelf-stable forms makes them ideal for large-scale manufacturing and consistent product formulation.

Brothers International is proud to offer various fruit juices and concentrates as USDA Organic certified.

The Symbol for Vitamin C

Oranges are round citrus fruits that grow on evergreen trees and are believed to have originated in Southeast Asia. They have a thick outer peel that ranges from bright orange to slightly yellow, and a juicy interior divided into segments. Oranges are typically sweet with a slight tang and may contain seeds depending on the variety. They grow best in warm, subtropical climates and are commonly harvested in the winter months. Orange trees can produce fruit for many years and are widely cultivated in regions such as the Mediterranean, the United States, and parts of South America.
