Organic Valencia Oranges

Uses

Oranges are the largest citrus crop in the world. The most-popular variety today is the Valencia, a medium to large fruit with a smooth, finely-textured rind which is thin-skinned and harder to peel. Firm and heavy for their size, they are picked when fully ripe. The bright orange fruit have virtually no seeds. These "summer oranges" have excellent color and quality and are bursting with sweet, fresh-from-the-tree flavor - perfect for juicing. A summertime favorite that looks and tastes like the goodness of California sunshine.

Melissa’s Organic Valencia Oranges make a wonderful snack as well as an ingredient in salads, sauces and marinades. Bursting with sweet flavor, Melissa's Valencia Oranges are plump treasures organically grown and distributed without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or preservatives. The Melissa's Organic label reads: “Melissa's Certified Organic Produce is free of artificial or synthetic fertilizers and full of unforgettable, great tasting flavor. Our farmers use traditional earth-friendly farming methods inspected by a nationally recognized agency to verify organic authenticity.
