Ortaniques, flesh only

Ortaniques are citrus fruits that are a cross between an orange and a tangerine. The figures here describe the edible flesh only, without the peel. The flesh consists mainly of water and provides carbohydrate and vitamin C. Per 100g, it contains 12g of carbohydrate, including 12g of sugars, 50mg of vitamin C and 0.2g of fat.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. The sugars in ortanique flesh are naturally present in the fruit and contribute to its carbohydrate content. This is relevant for people monitoring carbohydrate intake. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
