Orange oil

Hey kiddo! Do you know what an orange is? It's a round fruit that is yummy and juicy, right? Well, sometimes people use something called "orange oil" to make things smell or taste like oranges.

Orange oil is made by squishing the peels of oranges, which is the part you peel off before you eat the fruit inside. The orange peels have something called "essential oils" in them that can make things smell really nice.

The people who make orange oil take the peels and squish and squeeze them really hard. Then, they use a special process to separate the "essential oils" from the rest of the orange peel. These oils can be used in lots of things like cleaning products, perfumes, and even as a flavoring in food!

So, next time you smell something that reminds you of oranges, like a candle or cleaning product, it might have orange oil in it! Pretty cool, huh?
