Orange Packing

Host of Curiosity Quest, Joel Greene explores this tasty quest as he gets an inside look on how oranges are grown, sorted and packaged to be shipped across the world. It is harvest time when Greene arrives and he gets to experience, first hand, how oranges are hand- picked as he struggles to fill his bag with 50 pounds of oranges. Did you know that oranges are sprayed with a wax to make them look prettier? In this episode, you will also learn how oranges are measured by size, color, shape and weight all in a matter of seconds. Picking the oranges is only the beginning of the process these oranges go through before they end up at your local super market. In this DVD, you will see the whole process in action.
