oranges be cooked for long peri
ods, though, because they tend to
get bitter. Add them in the last
five minutes of cooking and
you’ll be fine.
There are other differences,
too. Valencia oranges are har
vested in early spring and sum
mer, so they’re mostly available
from late February through No
vember. They tend to have very
few seeds. They’re usually medi
um to large size and have a
round to oval shape. Sometimes
the skin is tinged with green, but
not because they were picked be
fore they were ftilly ripe. Rather,
Valencia oranges sometimes
begin to turn green again just as
they’re reaching full ripening.
The phenomenon, called re
greening, occurs because the

oranges are ripening in the
warmer months. The regreening
begins at the stem end.
Navel oranges are almost al
ways seedless. They’re generally
larger than Valencias but also
tend to have a round to oval
shape. The peel has a more peb
bly texture and is generally
thicker than the peel on a Valen
cia orange. Navel oranges are
known for their ease in peeling
and sectioning. The navel orange
is harvested in the winter, mak
ing it commonly available from
November through May.
The best storage temperature
for oranges is 45 degrees to 48
degrees Fahrenheit. Unfortu
nately, that’s a bit too warm for
the refrigerator and much too
cool for room temperature. Still,

oranges, like most citrus fruits,
will keep at room temperature
for about a week to 10 days. If
you prefer to store them in the
refrigerator, use a vegetable
crisper where you can control the
temperature so it’s a bit warmer.
In the refrigerator, oranges last
for two to three weeks.
Not surprisingly, oranges are
chock-full of vitamin C. Navel
oranges tend to have a bit more,
