Introduction
Oranges are a fruit high in water content. When frozen, the water inside turns into ice, which can rupture the cells of the orange and cause juice to leak out. However, this process does not produce any toxic or harmful substances, so frozen oranges are still safe to eat. Although frozen oranges are edible, it is advisable to consume them in moderation to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort caused by the cold temperature.
Generally, frozen oranges can be thawed and consumed without affecting health, although their texture and taste may change.
