Navel Orange

About navel orange

Known for their sweetness and easy peel, Navel oranges are a popular choice for fresh consumption. They can be segmented and added to salads, baked goods, or paired with dried fruits, nuts, onions, olives, cheeses, fresh herbs, bananas, and berries. Their juice and zest can be used to enhance syrups, curds, and doughs.

Navel oranges are among the earliest maturing varieties, producing larger, seedless fruits with vibrant, deep orange rinds that are easy to peel. They have a sweet, pleasant flavor, making them a top choice for fresh eating, though they aren't ideal for juicing.

Considered the world's finest orange for fresh consumption, Navel oranges are sweet, naturally juicy, and perfect for snacking.

While similar in flavor and appearance to Valencia oranges, Navel oranges are distinguished by the characteristic "navel" on their ends, a feature that gives them their name. Both types are part of the "sweet oranges" family, but Navel oranges stand out for their unique traits.
