In Australia, oranges are available year-round. Navel oranges, known for their sweet flavour and easy-to-peel skin, peak from June to August. Valencia oranges, famous for their juiciness and ideal for fresh juice, peak from November to February.
Choose oranges that feel heavy for their size with smooth, firm, and brightly coloured skin, as extra weight usually indicates a high juice content. .
An orange tree can produce fruit for over 50 years with proper care. Even the peel is edible and packed with more fibre than the juicy flesh inside.
