The old proverbial comparison goes "like comparing apples to oranges." This little phrase is used to show how it is impractical to compare two things that are wildly different. However, today, not only is a wild comparison going to be done...apples and oranges are going to literally be compared.
Apples and oranges are both types of fruits that are mostly spherical, and that are known for their nutritional value and juice. They both grow on trees and are rather easy to pick, and after washing can be eaten right away. Apples and oranges both have parts that are commonly not eaten (the apple has the core, the orange has the rind). As before stated, both fruits are well known for their juices. Orange juice has a distinctive tangy sensation to it, even somewhat bittersweet, all due to it's nature as a citrus fruit. Apple juice is usually sweeter and more mild than orange juice. Apples can be mashed into applesauce, however oranges cannot due to their different texture and makeup. Finally, oranges have a distinctive mutation known as blood oranges, which is mostly self-explanatory: when developed under certain conditions, oranges make acquire a pigment that colors their flesh blood-red. As far as I know, apples have no mutation like this.
