NAVELINA NAVEL
november - december
Description/Taste
Navelina oranges are medium to large in size and are spherical, obovoid, to slightly pear-shaped with a small rounded depression, also known as a navel, on the blossom stem end. The medium-thin rind has a vibrant red-orange hue at maturity and is smooth with a pebbled appearance due to the presence of many oil glands that contain fragrant essential oils. Underneath the surface of the rind, the white pith is spongy, compact, and easily removed from the flesh. The pale orange-yellow pulp is soft, juicy, seedless, and divided into 10-12 segments by thin white membranes. Navelina oranges are aromatic and contain a low amount of acidity, creating an overall sweet flavor.
Seasons/Availability
Navelina oranges are available in the winter through early spring.
FUKUMOTO NAVEL
november - december
Fukumoto navel oranges are small to medium in size, averaging 5-8 centimeters in diameter, and are spherical to oblate in shape with a rounded depression, also known as a navel, on the blossom stem end.
The navel may appear inward when small, and as the fruit grows, it can gradually extend outward creating a slight protrusion.
The medium-thick rind has a vibrant red-orange hue and is leathery and rough with a pebbled texture due to the presence of many oil glands. Underneath the surface of the rind, the white pith is spongy, compact, and easily removed from the flesh. The pulp or flesh is soft, juicy, seedless, and divided into 10-12 segments by thin white membranes. Fukumoto navel oranges are highly aromatic with many essential oils found in the rind and have a low acid content creating a sweet flavor.
