🍊 A large orange—especially a navel variety—is a citrus fruit known for its vibrant orange skin, sweet and tangy flavor, and juicy flesh. Here’s what makes it stand out:
- Size & Shape: Typically about the size of a softball or larger, with a slightly oval or round shape. Some giant varieties can be even bigger than a human hand.
- Skin: Thick, pebbled, and easy to peel. The bright orange hue signals ripeness and high vitamin C content.
- Flesh: Seedless or nearly seedless, with plump segments that burst with juice. Perfect for snacking, juicing, or zesting.
- Aroma: Fresh, citrusy, and invigorating—like sunshine in fruit form.
- Taste: A balance of sweetness and acidity, making it refreshing and satisfying.
Fun fact: California growers have reported unusually large navel oranges due to ideal weather conditions
