Navel Oranges

Commodity Overview

Navel oranges fit most people's description of an orange with a round shape and dimpled, bright orange skin. Their distinguishing feature is an indentation at one end that bears a resemblance to the human navel, thus their name. Navel oranges have thicker skin and are easy to peel. Their sections peel apart easily, and they have a sweet, juicy flavor.
