Navel oranges are the most common type of orange that consumers eat. They are recognizable by the small hole at the top of the fruit that resembles a navel.

These oranges are sweet and seedless, which makes them the perfect snacking orange to eat out of hand. Also, if you like fresh orange juice, you can use navel oranges to make fresh-squeezed juice, but because the juice is quite sweet it can ferment and go bad if not consumed quickly.

Navel oranges are in season from November to June, with their peak season in January and February.
