Dry Oranges

Question

I was interested to read the article written by Heather Rhoades on the causes of dry oranges. My query is whether a dry orange is likely to have much Vitamin C content at all? I wonder if you are able to help me out on this please? Many thanks in anticipation.

Answer 1

It probably depends on the reason the fruit is dry. Many factors can affect the amount of Vitamin C in oranges including environmental conditions, climate, proper fertilization and irrigation. If the fruit is dry, it is likely some Vitamin C is lost due to the improper growing conditions.
