HOW TO ENJOY IT ON KETO

  • Moderate net carbs: 9.4g per 100g fits only with careful planning
  • High vitamin C: a medium orange can provide ~50%+ DV
  • Citrus flavonoids (e.g., hesperidin) may support vascular function
  • This item contains the nutrients or compounds listed above; evidence for specific health outcomes depends on dose, preparation, and individual context.
  • Nutrient-dense relative to calories (C, folate, potassium)
  • Segmentable: easy to eat smaller portions to control carbs

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

SEGMENTED SNACK

Peel and eat a few segments spread through the day as a portion-controlled treat; log carbs carefully.

FRESH JUICE (LIMITED)

Mix juice from half an orange with sparkling water and ice (~7g net) for a light spritz.

MEAT MARINADE

Use a small amount of fresh orange juice with olive oil, garlic, and herbs for chicken or pork; cook thoroughly.

SALAD GARNISH

Add a couple of segments to mixed greens with nuts and a tangy dressing for brightness.

ZEST ENHANCEMENT

Use orange zest to flavor fish, desserts, or tea—intense aroma with minimal carbs.

LIGHT DRESSING

Whisk a teaspoon of juice with olive oil, mustard, and herbs; drizzle sparingly.
