Orange Navel

ABOUT

  • Navel oranges are named for the small, navel-like formation on their blossom end.
  • Refreshingly sweet and juicy, Navel oranges have a pleasant floral aroma.
  • The slightly thick skin peels easily, revealing a bright orange, seedless interior.
  • Navel oranges are available from November through June.

Orange de Valence

ABOUT

  • Love OJ? Thanks to a perfect, juicy balance of tart and sweet, Valencia oranges are just right for juicing.
  • This orange’s bold, refreshing zing is tempered with just the right amount of sweetness, making it a perfect snack as well.
  • Even though the fruit may be deliciously sweet and completely ripe, Valencia oranges occasionally “re-green” in warm weather as the peel reabsorbs chlorophyll, causing a ripe orange to look partly green.
  • Often called the summer orange, Valencias are available from February through early November globally with peak availability in North America from July through October.
