Organic Valencia Orange

Origin: California

Description: Valencia oranges - often called summer oranges - are actually available from February through October, with peak supplies in May, June and July. Valencia oranges may have a few seeds and are usually thin-skinned. Even though the fruit is deliciously sweet and completely ripe, Valencia oranges may occasionally "re-green" in warm weather. When the fruit ripens on the tree, it turns a bright orange color, as usual. But the warm temperatures of the season may make the skin reabsorb chlorophyll as it hangs on the tree, causing a ripe orange to look partly green. A green Valencia is typically very sweet.

Storage Tips: Oranges can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.

Shelf Life: Oranges will last for about a week stored at room temperature (on the counter or in the pantry) while they will last for about 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator.
