Some time ago, I saw a paper from the British scientific journal "Nature", which mentioned that most of the citrus fruits we commonly see now, such as oranges, grapefruit, oranges, lemons, etc., are bred by the hybridization and selection of the three wild species of broad peel orange, wild grapefruit and citron. Among them, the hybridization of broad-skinned oranges with wild grapefruit "gives birth" to oranges.
Speaking of oranges, this is a fruit that I really like to eat. The sweet and sour taste and abundant juice can really make people's appetite and appetite be greatly boosted. Whether the fruit is delicious or not is closely related to its origin. For oranges, this is also true.
