Robbie Sigona’s Produce Tips: Navel Oranges
Robbie Sigona’s Produce Tips: Navel Oranges
- Choose oranges that are smooth skinned, deep orange in color, heavy for their weight and free of blemishes.
- Russeting, a rough brown spot on the skin, does not affect the flavor.
- Although oranges will store at room temperature, they will hold up longer (7-10 days) in the fridge.
- Select Navel oranges that have relatively small navels (the end of the fruit). Larger navels can indicate the orange was overripe when picked.
