Navel Oranges v. Valencia Oranges
Navel and Valencia oranges each bring something special to the table. Navel oranges are the classic, seedless favorite with bright, sweet flavor and easy-to-peel segments, perfect for snacking or adding to salads. Valencia oranges, on the other hand, are known as the official orange of juicing, offering a juicy, tangy sweetness that shines in fresh-squeezed drinks and summer recipes. Both varieties are packed with vitamin C, but while navels are ideal for eating out of hand, Valencias are the go-to for pouring pure citrus sunshine into every glass.
Cara Cara Oranges
The Pink Orange packs power under that peel. Cara Cara oranges stand out with their beautiful pink flesh, seedless convenience, and irresistibly sweet flavor. They deliver 100% of your daily vitamin C along with a rich, low-acid taste that’s as refreshing as it is vibrant. Perfect for snacking, juicing, or brightening up salads, Cara Caras bring color and sunshine to every bite.
