Naval Oranges, 4lb
Characterized by the small formation resembling a navel on the blossom end, Navel oranges are one of the most popular citrus varieties. Available from November through June, these winter oranges have a slightly thick skin, are seedless and easy to peel, and provide an excellent source of Vitamin C. They have a floral aroma and are refreshingly sweet and juicy.
