An orange is a kind of comestible. It is considered vegan food.

Encyclopaedia entry

Interestingly, the orange shares the same entry as the pear:

What was the fruit like? Unfortunately, no one can describe

a taste. All I can say is that, compared with those fruits,

the freshest grapefruit you've ever eaten was dull, and the

juiciest orange was dry, and the most melting pear was hard

and woody, and the sweetest wild strawberry was sour. And

there were no seeds or stones, and no wasps. If you had once

eaten that fruit, all the nicest things in this world would

taste like medicines after it. But I can't describe it. You

can't find out what it is like unless you can get to that

country and taste it for yourself.
