Fun Fact Friday

Did you know....

Oranges are NOT a naturally occuring fruit!

"... oranges are a hybrid of tangerines and pomelos, also known as "Chinese grapefruit," and they were originally green—not, well, orange. Oranges are a subtropical fruit, but now that they exist in more temperate climates, they lose their chlorophyll-induced green and become their more familiar color when the weather warms up." (Daniel, 2019)
