Yup. Juice oranges are usually valencia, from florida. the california
navals are pithier, having more stuff to chew and less juice, they
are eating oranges. navals easier to peel, thicker skin; valencia
more difficult to peel, thinner skin. all in all i like tangerines.

Are you able to say what the main difference is between tangerines and
clemantines?

Honeybells are the best.

The title of this thread brings to mind "The Love of Three Oranges" (I
THINK that's the title) by Prokofiev - one of the themes was used in
an old battery commercial in the fifties. Anyone remember what that
brand was? (Trivia question, guys.)

I had no idea except that they are pretty much the same size and
both peel easily. According to Wikipedia the clementine is a variant
of mandarin orange, first identified in 1906, and is known as the
seedless tangerine. They are all pretty intermixed, apparently.
Yesterday I bought some mercotts, which are described as very sweet
tangerines...

No, but I remember reading the play... For the life of me I can't
remember what it was about.

He was probably surprised by how juicy they were.

They are called "navel" oranges, because they have a navel.
You are correct that Florida grows juice oranges and
California grows mostly table oranges (oranges marketed
as fruit, hence for use on the table). The juice of
navel oranges separates, hence they aren't often used
for juice.

When my bud brings up Juice Oranges from his yard they have thin skins
and lots of seeds... Not great for just hand eating, very sloppy.

I like juice made from Cali navel oranges much better than the juice
from Valencias. Three words, Little Pro Plus.

We just bought a bag. They are the best! Low acidity and a great flavor.

What about that piece by Satie ? I can't remember the exact title,
but it's an instrumental them used by "Blood, Sweat & Tears on one of
their "best of . . ." albums. It has "three oranges" in the title.
It's quite haunting..

As for oranges, the big California navels are down to less than a buck
per lb. I, however, am going broke buying a variety called "Cara
Cara" at $1.98/lb. They are PINK inside! Like a very small
grapefruit. Boy are they pretty and boy are they SWEET! Anybody else
eating these?
