The Queen of Fruits

(The Queen of Fruits)

The orange fruit is the most widely planted in Spain. Also, by far the most consumed here at Feria de Madrid, where I am. I am told representatives Fontestad S / A, a company of the city of Valencia, and one of the largest Spanish, orange represents almost 25% of total consumption of fruit in the Iberian country.

To my readers have idea, Spain plant 312,000 acres of citrus (lemon also has), while all other fruits occupy 280,000 hectares. Then save the queen.
