🍊 ORANGES: SWEET, JUICY… AND STRONGER THAN YOU THINK

Blog Insight #15: The warrior’s guide to the misunderstood citrus

To some, the orange is just sugar wrapped in skin. But true warriors know better — this vibrant fruit hides more than meets the eye.

Whether tossed into a winter tea by the hearth or squeezed into a beachside drink, oranges are a staple of modern life. But their benefits go far beyond refreshment. They’re a well-rounded package of nutrients, built to serve both flavor and function.

Here’s what makes the orange worthy of a Viking’s respect:

⚔️ 50 mg of vitamin C per 100g – That’s powerful antioxidant protection.
🌿 Bioflavonoids – These warriors enhance vitamin C absorption, making sure your body gets every drop.
🌾 Nearly 5g of fiber per fruit – For digestive resilience.
🧠 B-vitamins (B1, B6, B9), vitamin A – Fuel for your nervous system and sharp thinking.
🦴 Calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur – A mineral medley for bones, muscles, and more.

So yes — it's juicy and sweet. But it’s also a nutritious blade in your daily arsenal.

⚠️ Viking’s Caution:
🍋 Citrus fruits are common allergens — not everyone can tolerate them.
🔥 And if you battle acid reflux, the citric acids may worsen the burn. Know your body. Fight wisely.

💡 Viking Tip: Add orange segments to salads, use the zest in marinades, or enjoy it fresh — just don’t underestimate it. This fruit might not look fierce, but it’s built like a shield from the inside out.
