Orange

Sweet, juicy mandarins are a fragrant fruit found in children’s lunchboxes around Australia. Although an easy-to-peel favourite snack, mandarins are also perfect in Asian-style salads when tossed with rocket, coriander leaves and spring onions and a dressing of lemon juice and macadamia oil.

• Oranges are a rich source of several plant compounds that are responsible for many of their health benefits.
