Before I'll talk about what else is hidden in the orange, I'd like to focus a bit on vitamin C. Vitamin C plays\u00a0many different roles within our body and is a strong and potent antioxidant. The flavonoids in oranges, powerful antioxidants themselves, facilitate vitamin C absorption. Through this process, the vitamin C can prevent oxidative stress and all its negative side effects like accelerated ageing and the formation of cancer. Here's\u00a0some good news for women: it also supports our metabolism and is great for the\u00a0skin. Another fact important for both women and men, female and male vegetarians and vegans, is the fact that vitamin C facilitates and improves the absorption of iron from plant sources. It fulfils a number of tasks in our immune system and is widely known as the vitamin that combats colds. Not such a well known fact: it's not actually assured\u00a0that vitamin C prevents colds, but it certainly lessens their duration and relieves symptoms.<\/p>\n What I especially love about oranges: they help combat fatigue.<\/p>\n And here are the orange's other interesting ingredients: alongside vitamin C, it also contains important electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium. It packs various secondary plant\u00a0substances\u00a0that have a hugely positive effect on our health\u00a0and contains terpenes that act as provitamin A in our bodies and catch all manner of free radicals. I admit, I’ve got a thing for fennel at the moment. I just love it, and in addition, it’s very healthy. But I promise – particularly to you\u00a0fennel-haters – that this one will be the last fennel recipe for a while. I’ve collected a lot of different ideas over the last few weeks and months that I will surprise you with very soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9183,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[754,769],"tags":[1022,1023,1024,815],"ingredient":[],"class_list":["post-9161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipes","category-salads","tag-fenchel-en","tag-fenchel-orangen-salat-en","tag-orange-en","tag-walnusse-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alt.foodtastic.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9161"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alt.foodtastic.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alt.foodtastic.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alt.foodtastic.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alt.foodtastic.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alt.foodtastic.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alt.foodtastic.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alt.foodtastic.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alt.foodtastic.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alt.foodtastic.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9161"},{"taxonomy":"ingredient","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alt.foodtastic.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ingredient?post=9161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Fenchel-Salat3a\"](\"https:\/\/78.46.122.165\/content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Fenchel-Salat3a-1000x1500.jpg\")

\nHow do you store oranges? I keep them at room temperature, which is said to be\u00a0ideal. They come from southern countries so they don't like the cold. A cold environment\u00a0doesn't make them sour, but bitter.<\/p>\n![\"Fenchel-Salat6\"](\"https:\/\/78.46.122.165\/content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Fenchel-Salat6-1000x667.jpg\")
