Immature orange tree – Oftentimes, the first year or two that an orange tree produces fruit, the oranges are dry. This is because the orange tree is simply not mature enough to properly produce fruit. It is for this reason that some growers will prune away any fruit that appears the first year an orange tree or lack of Nitrogen and phosphorus. Regardless, the rinds on citrus fruits from citrus trees affected by too little phosphorus will be thick and the fruit inedible.
Pesticide Residues Found in Oranges:

Formetanate hydrochloride 5.8%

Which has nothing to do with the fact that there is no such thing as a GMO orange.14 -
All oranges are the product of artificial selection that has dramatically altered their genetic make up in ways that would never have occurred naturally. GMOs generally means it was genetically engineered through biotechnology to include snippets of DNA from something nature didn’t put there. GMOs generally means it was genetically engineered through biotechnology to include snippets of DNA from something nature didn’t put there. Over the years they have cross breeded fruits and veggies trying new things. Its not like a bee went from a pear tree to a orange tree and left a inprint. Instead it is Cut and Snip, Wrap and Wait to see the outcome.
I guess then I have to look at the Pesticide. Perhaps this is a area that caused the "Orange" to be so "Dry".
I don't eat corn, I can not digest it. I stopped eating soybeans, but I do eat a lot of squash. I will look at the list! and check into some of the pesticides, something is causing this and has for about 15yrs. Life is changing fast, I will give you that.
A poor growing season. That is what causes oranges to be drier.12 -

Its never too late to improve spelling and grammar. If I read your post right I’m older than you. I learned to read and write from the West Indies Reader and have supplemented with a lot of reading since.
Here’s a source for completely free literature.

There are no GMO oranges. There are dry oranges though.

Have you tried walking to improve food motility?5 -
I'm sorry about my spelling, I have been Dyslexic my entire life and I have a Learning Disability, I have tried and I check all my work with Word Document, I write, copy then correct as much as I can sometimes it just does not like my spelling or grammar and then copy and again and past, it takes me a while to do each post! I will do the best I can. I have a 27' screen and I have my typeset at 18. I am quite blind with Cataracts in my eyes and floaters. I sit about 3feet from the screen. So I apologize. I read very slowly at a 8th grade these days. Maybe a 4th grade. I use to type 127 words a min, now I only do about 35 words a min if I am lucky. With Alzheimer's disease my life has changed and I might know things today and tomorrow it is all gone. I get maybe 4 good days out of a week if I am lucky~9

A poor growing season. The funny thing is my entire town is filled of Orange trees~ Grapefruit and Dates trees.
Last year, that was a great year for fruits. Sunny Cally~2 -
The artificial foods have caused me to have indigestion, (TV DINNERS) since the 1960's by the 1990's NO MORE~
I tried Frozen foods but too chewy or freezer burned perhaps too long on the shelves, all the preservative’s really hurts my Kidney’s and I suffer in bowel movements so I stopped eating them back in the 90's, I have to be careful about the cans goods also, They have a lot of added things that just mess with my body! Headaches, ringing in the ears, the preservatives are too much for me, sleepless nights because so many things have added sugars. I can't eat box foods, the sodium is too high I get this really odd feeling of light headiness, again a headache and I cannot digest the foods it can stop me up for days if not a week. Like Mac and Cheese! I don't eat it ever~
If you don't ever eat these things or haven't for at least 40 years, you don't know you still can't eat them or that they cause such things to happen.
I used to have terrible digestion in the mid-1980s but it's perfectly fine now.I eat 100% Raw, or Seemed, Boiled, or BBQ if need be. I don't fry anything, I don't oven bake anything, If I can grind it up in a mixer and put it in mason jars like baby food I am happy. Or if I can put it in a Slow Cooker, then we are good. I can tell a huge different, but because I eat foods that have such low calories I have to eat a lot of it to even make 700 calories, to get to 1200, I would have to eat from morning to night and cross my fingers to make those numbers. Veggies and some fruits just don't have much calories~
Worrying. Your calorie limit is far too low.3 -
Person- yes! Natural is digested easily and body loves it , other kind harms your body and has toxins and all.
I am suffering from this for the last 2 days~ My daughter bought some Oranges, Not realizing they are GMO's and I can say they had no juice, it was like Dry and I think it packed up in my body~ So much I had to clean out my stomach today~ I had no choice. I got no sleep last night, the pain was un-godly~ But I am feeling better now~ There must have been a lot of chemicals in that orange, I have only had one but that "ONE" has kicked my butt today~ On top of everything I am going through~ The pulp matter of fact bounced when it fell from the orange? One of them opened up and fell on my plate and it bounced off. That is when I realized this is not 'NORMAL'.
So in the trash it went. ... The peal was very thin and very hard to peal the orange kept sticking too it and ripping. I should have realized after the first bite, but when you’re "ME" it takes time for that "DING" something is not right?
I also had a grapefruit the other day and it was the same way, NO JUICE in it! However the strawberries are nice but they have no flavor just hard to crunch. I don't know what my daughter is buying from "Sprouts" but they are pulling a fast one on her~
I have been eating natural veggies for almost 15ys. I love veggies 70% of my diet is veggies and 10% is fruit.

P.s. WinoGelato; I love how you write, I wish I had your education for grammer and puncation. I would be in heaven and I would write for a living. My grandchild does home schooling K-12 and she surpassed me in the 3rd grade, Equals to my 12th grade and some college classes I took. The kids today have such a great education.
I am puzzled that the Nutrision has not been "Figured out yet". Maybe when your all in your 50's you will give us a better world~ Keep searching for the answers for today you all helped me see what is going on. 44yrs trying to figure all this out and in one day, just one day the problem has been solved. We all will find out in 2 weeks if my Dehyderation numbers on the scale change. Thanks.
They say laughter is the best medicine - thank you for the antidote to all the nasty artificial toxins I must have ingested today.5 -
I wish you all the best @SaunaSuit . My parents have subscribed to Meals on Wheels and don’t worry about what to eat any more. The meals are quite tasty but to enjoy them you would have to get over your prejudice of frozen foods.8

Today, these apples, oranges, tomatoes, kale, potatoes etc have no flavor, no juice. We used Pectin to jar and perserve our foods. We dident have to worrie about Herbicide and Pesticide Resistance, Accidental Toxicity. Today we get Exports from other countrys that send us there own "REJECTED" foods! Have you ever seen Asia or India Veggies they are HUGE! But America takes the small, perfect sizes because it is eye happy!
Exports
Fresh, dried, frozen, preserved fruit
Fresh, dried, frozen, preserved veg.
Processed fruits and vegetables
Mexico (44%), Canada (12%), Chile (8%), the European Union (7%), China (6%), Peru (5%), and Costa Rica (3%). Other leading import suppliers were Guatemala, Thailand, Brazil, Argentina, Turkey, the Philippines, and Ecuador. All other importing countries accounted for about 5% of trade. The major imported products were tomatoes, peppers, bananas, other tropical fruits, potatoes, onions, garlic, cucumbers, melon, citrus, grapes, tree fruit, fruit juices, and various fresh and processed products.

Obviously Canadian fruits are superior.

Maybe the California fruits we get here are their rejects. US imports of fresh fruits is a 1.6 billion business for the US.
