Bradenton Fun Fact! Did you know...

That "burning orange" scent that sometimes fills the air in Bradenton comes from the Tropicana plant! Before squeezing the fruit for juice, they harvest orange oil from the peels.

Tropicana sells the oil to perfume companies and distillers. It's also used for flavoring, orange cleaners, and other products. Once the oil is extracted, the orange peels are turned into flakes, mixed with molasses, and made into cattle feed!
