What's the difference between Valencia orange and navel orange? Are green Valencia oranges and navel oranges undercooked?
Navel oranges ("winter" orange) and Valencia oranges ("summer" orange) taste and look similar, but what is the difference between them? Oranges are one of the most commonly grown fruits in the world. Valencia and the umbilical cord are classified as sweet oranges of the genus Citrus. From the outside, the feature that can help you distinguish them most easily is the feature that gives the belly navel orange its name: the navel! (not in Valencia. )
The navel orange actually grows on the second "twin" fruit on the opposite side of the stem. The second fruit is still underdeveloped, but from the outside, it is similar to the human belly button-hence its name. Navel oranges are part of the winter citrus family. They are seedless, peel off easily and are considered to be one of the most delicious oranges in the world.
Valencia Orange (which usually begins in March and lasts until around September) is named after the Spanish city of Valencia, but its actual origin is unknown. Valencia oranges are usually thin-skinned and have some seeds, so they have high juice content and availability outside the typical citrus season. They are considered to be one of the most suitable oranges for juicing.
Medium oranges of any variety have only about 60 calories and provide 116% of the daily value of vitamin C; 13% dietary fiber; 10% folic acid; 8% thiamine; 7% potassium; 6% vitamin A; and 5% calcium. This makes them a delicious snack at any time of the day.
Green is easy!
If you see a hint of green on Valencia oranges, don't be intimidated-it doesn't mean the fruit is not ripe. As Valencia oranges grow in warm seasons, they are exposed to more sunlight, which triggers the production of chlorophyll in the pericarp, which helps protect the fruit from sunburn. This process is called "re-greening".
The green oranges are very mature and still taste sweet! In fact, Emily Ayala of Friend's Ranch in Ojai, California, wonderful Pixie oranges and other citrus growers told The FruitGuys, "some of our data show that green oranges contain more sugar than dark orange fruits."
