Orange:
Iranian Oranges are oval to sphere-shaped
fruits with leathery, porous skin. Their
color ranges from orange to red-orange.
Oranges may be confused with other citrus
fruits, such as grapefruits and tangerines.
However, grapefruits are usually much larger
and more yellow than oranges, and tangerines
have a more flattened sphere shape than
oranges.
