About
Valencia oranges are a type of sweet orange known for their vibrant orange color and juicy, tangy flavor. They are typically larger than other varieties of oranges and have a thin, smooth skin that is easy to peel. Valencia oranges are commonly used for juicing due to their high juice content and refreshing taste. They are often harvested in the spring and summer months, making them a popular choice for fresh orange juice during that time of year.
Valencia oranges are also prized for their nutritional value, being rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants. The yellow-orange flesh is tender, extremely juicy, contains 1-6 cream-colored seeds, and is divided into 10-12 segments by thin membranes. It is important to note that sometimes a Valencia orange may go through a re-greening process, which is when the fruit reabsorbs chlorophyll giving it hues of green even though the fruit is fully ripe. Re-greening does not affect the flavor of the orange, and when ripe, Valencia oranges have a balanced, sweet-tart flavor.
