13. The Orange Tree

The liqueur made with orange peels, Arancello, has all the scent of the Mediterranean.

Orange has many properties, rich in vitamins C and A and also partly in vitamin B, it increases the resistance of the human body against various chemical, physical and environmental agents, especially in winter. Increases immune defenses against viruses and bacteria. They have an antioxidant action on free radicals and are anti-stress. For the daily requirement of vitamin C it is enough to eat 2 or 3 oranges a day, preferably in segments because the white part and the skin which are a source of fiber are also preserved.
