Oranges, bananas, and apples in 1893
An orange was a citrus fruit native to Earth. It was enveloped by an orange-colored rind or peel which was generally removed prior to consumption of the fruit. The juice of an orange was used to make a beverage called, aptly enough, orange juice.
In 2270, what appeared to be oranges were among the fruit served on a platter to Kirk, Spock, and McCoy while they were temporarily being held in the Lactra VII zoo. (TAS: "Eye of the Beholder")
Also in 2270, an orange was among the fruit on a platter on the dining table on the USS Enterprise. (TAS: "The Practical Joker")
When the USS Enterprise was bombarded by an energy beam after encountering a crystalline planet in 2269, Montgomery Scott reported that the starship's dilithium crystals were "unpeeling like the rind of an orange." (TAS: "The Terratin Incident")
Oranges were amongst the fruit that Groppler Zorn offered to Commander Riker when he first visited his office on Deneb IV. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint")
While stranded in San Francisco of 1893, Data passed a street salesman who sold fruits, including green and red apples, oranges, and bananas. (TNG: "Time's Arrow")
