Citrus Aurantifolia, also known as Citrus Omani, is a fragrant, lush citrus with sharp aroma and juicy texture. Its sweet yet slightly tangy flavor makes it an ideal ingredient for cooking, baking, and cocktails alike.
Orange fruit is an important agricultural product, used for both the juicy fruit pulp and the aromatic peel. Orange blossoms are used in several different ways, as are the leaves and wood of the tree. Citrus Omani is widely used for its antibacterial, anticancer, antidiabetic, antifungal, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammation, anti-lipidemia, and antioxidant properties; moreover, it can protect heart, liver, bone, and prevent urinary diseases.
