Navel Oranges
Normal season starts late October and goes into the beginning of July. Navel oranges are known for a thicker skin, easy to peel, seedless and excellent flavor. Navel oranges got their name from the “belly button” formation opposite the stem end. Although navel oranges are full of juice and can be squeezed they are mostly consumed out of hand.
Valencia Oranges
Normal season starts late March and goes into August or September. Valencia oranges are known for their thinner skin, a few seeds and plenty of juice. Valencia oranges were named after Valencia, Spain. Valencia oranges are the most popular orange used for juicing because of their sweet content and plentiful juice.
