Navel Orange

Navels are one of the four groups of sweet oranges, particularly known for their superior eating quality. The distinguishing feature of a Navel orange is the small secondary fruit embedded at the stylar-end of the main fruit. In general, Navels are medium to large oranges with a smooth, deep orange skin which is quite easy to remove. They are virtually seedless, and the flesh is finely textured, juicy and quite soft. Levels of sweetness are very good, with an acid balance that emphasises sweet rather than tang, giving an eating experience that is rarely surpassed by other oranges
