How people cook with it
Navel oranges are incredibly versatile in the kitchen, perfect for both sweet and savory applications.
- Juicing for breakfast
- Adding to salads
- Zesting for baking
- Snacking fresh
To enjoy a navel orange, start by peeling back the thick rind. The segments inside are naturally separated and easy to pull apart. You can eat them as is for a refreshing snack. For juicing, a simple citrus juicer works well. The zest from the rind can be used to add a bright citrus aroma to baked goods, marinades, or sauces. They can also be sliced and added to fruit salads or used as a garnish for desserts and main courses.
How it differs from similar foods
Navel oranges are distinct from other orange varieties due to their seedless nature and the characteristic 'navel' on their blossom end. They tend to be sweeter and less acidic than Valencia oranges, making them ideal for eating fresh.
Who it is for
Home cooks and families who appreciate fresh, natural produce will find these oranges a staple.
How to keep the rest
Store whole, unpeeled navel oranges in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry or refrigerator crisper drawer. They will stay fresh for about a week when stored at room temperature and longer in the refrigerator. Avoid washing them until you are ready to use them.
