Valencia Oranges
Spring Classic. Rich golden-sweet juice. Florida's best juice orange. Delicious when sliced and in cool fruit salads.
VALENCIA ORANGES were first introduced to Florida by the Spaniards,and are the world's most popular orange. Their rich, golden, juice has a flavor that is unmatched. Valencias are Florida's best juicing orange. Valencias are also delicious to eat sliced in wedges we call "smiles", or in a cool, fruit salad. Note- It happens every Spring! Warm springtime temps trigger the trees to flush new leaves. This annual re-greening process draws Chlorophyll into the peel of the fruit as the new foliage emerges. Any greenish tinges on the peel are just chlorophyll and do not affect the flavor or ripeness of your oranges. (Chlorophyll actually contains antioxidants that may have healthful benefits. Considered seedless, Valencias have very few seeds.)
