    There's several hundred entries.

    just type orange. It's best to weigh it, with skin on.

    Sometimes a descriptive word helps clarify ambiguous entries. "orange" may pull up a thousand orange flavored things from fruit to sherbert, but adding "fruit" will pull up more viable options.

    To find system entries for whole foods, I get the syntax from the USDA database and plug that into MFP.

    Something like "oranges, raw" tends to work. In this case the system entry are "oranges, raw, navel", "oranges, raw, Florida", etc.
