Oranges with “big navel” and “small navel” are different

When shopping for oranges, one of the first things to check is the navel. Oranges with a large, deep navel often have thick peels

and dry, tasteless segments inside. They tend to be less juicy and less sweet.

On the other hand, oranges with a small or less visible navel usually have thinner skin,

more juice, and a sweeter flavor—making them the better choice. Here are a few more tips to help you pick the best oranges:

content, making them tastier and juicier. Shape: Choose round oranges rather than ones that are oddly shaped, oval, or

wrinkled. Rounder fruits tend to have better internal structure and are more likely to be juicy and fresh. Weight:
