Oranges

-1.5

Oranges offer moderate anti-inflammatory benefits primarily through vitamin C, hesperidin, and other citrus flavonoids that reduce oxidative damage and support immune regulation.

Ingredient score breakdown

Vitamin C

-0.7

One orange provides over 100% daily value, acting as a powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein.

Hesperidin

-0.5

Citrus flavonoid that improves vascular function and reduces inflammatory cytokine production in endothelial cells.

Beta-cryptoxanthin

-0.3

Carotenoid antioxidant associated with reduced inflammatory arthritis risk in epidemiological studies.

Why this score

This score is ingredient-based and weighted by DII-inspired evidence. Foods with added sugar, refined starches, and heavy processing trend higher; foods with fiber, omega-3, and polyphenols trend lower.

FODMAP note

Oranges are low FODMAP in servings up to one medium orange, but juice can become high FODMAP in large quantities due to fructose.
