Coorg Orange - Organically Grown - 500 GM

Fruits

The origin of Coorg oranges is not clearly known, although it is believed to be introduced from Central India about 300 years ago. Coorg orange is classed under mandarin group (Citrus reticulata) and also popularly known as Santras in India. They are also referred as loose jacket orange. Coorg orange, Nagpur orange, Khasi orange, Rangtra, Kamala, Sikkim orange, Yemmedoddi orange are all strains of mandarin and each of them are known for their individual characteristics of juiciness, taste and quality. Coorg orange is highly nutritious and delicious, possessing good medicinal value too. Coorg orange has got its own special taste and flavor with well blended sugar and acid contents.

Not so long ago, orange cultivation occupied a pride of place as an intercrop inside coffee plantations. This crop played an important role in insulating the coffee farmers from the volatile coffee prices and at times rescued the farmers in times of coffee crop failure.  However, for the past three decades, orange cultivation inside coffee plantations has taken a back seat due to diseases.

In 2004, Coorg Oranges received the GI (Geographical Indicator) tag and it is hope that this will help revive and protect this traditional crop variety.
