Rich in vitamin C: Oranges are particularly well-known for their vitamin C content. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage and boosts the immune system. It also helps the body absorb iron and make collagen, which is important for healthy skin, bones, and tissues.
Promotes heart health: The fiber in orange foods can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. May help with weight management: Fiber can also help you feel full longer, which can aid in weight management. Good for eye health: Some orange foods, such as carrots, are high in beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is important for healthy vision. Contains potassium: Many orange foods are a good source of potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure. May reduce the risk of certain cancers: Some studies suggest that the antioxidants in orange foods may help protect against certain types of cancer.

. Orange Marmalade Cookies (Makes about 2 dozen) These cookies are a delightful treat with a burst of orange flavor. The marmalade adds sweetness and a touch of tartness that balances the buttery dough.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the orange marmalade until just incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch (optional). Tips:
For chewier cookies, bake for a shorter time. For crispier cookies, bake for a minute or two longer. You can use any type of orange marmalade you like, but a bitter orange marmalade will add a more complex flavor. If the dough is too sticky, you can chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before scooping.
