Orange and chocolate have always been a winning combination in the chocolate world, and we certainly cater to that classic flavour with our Orange Milk Chocolate Bar. However, we also have a twist on this all time favourite with our Orange & Geranium Milk Chocolate Bar, which is our #FlavourFocus for July! So we have decided to look a little more into oranges, as it’s a prominent flavour in this chocolate bar…
- Full of Fibre…
Did you know that you would actually have to consume 7 whole cups of cornflakes to get the same amount of fibre that you would get from one medium orange?
- Favourite Flavour…
Orange is the world’s favourite flavour after chocolate and vanilla… no wonder orange flavoured chocolate is a thing!
- A great source of Vitamin C!
Did you know that just one orange is enough to supply you with all the vitamin C you need for a whole day? That’s just amazing!
- A symbol of love…
Yes – it’s not just roses that can symbolise love – oranges can too! Orange and orange blossom is a symbol of love – so we know what we are getting for valentines day next year!
- Golden Apples…
Oranges have been known as ‘fruits of the Gods’, and it has been said that Hercules referred to them as ‘Golden Apples’.
- A whole lot of orange…
There are now over 600 varieties of oranges across the globe – that’s a lot! We never really thought of a ‘type’ of orange – we just saw an orange as an orange… so we might be looking a little more closely from now on!
- Goodbye slugs!
Don’t take us for our word – but it has been said that if you sprinkle a little orange peel over your plants, it acts as a great natural slug repellent! That’s definitely one for our budding gardeners to try out…
- Oh so juicy…
Around 85% of oranges produced are used to make orange juice – so perhaps we prefer to drink this wonderful flavour rather than eat it.
- It is possible to write a poem with the word ‘orange’!
Many say that rhyming with orange is totally impossible; but in fact, there is a mountain in Wales called Blorenge, and spores are made in a sac known as a sporange – so put that in your song and sing it!
- 10 parts to the puzzle…
There are typically 10 segments in an orange – so you can enjoy that beautiful flavour 10 times over!
If you are now feeling in the mood for orange, we suggest you try our Orange & Geranium Milk Chocolate – it’s a winner!
