Navel oranges are a popular citrus fruit known for their sweet and tangy flavour, as well as their distinct “navel” formation at the blossom end. These seedless oranges are not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients like vitamin C, fibre, and antioxidants. With their easy-to-peel skin and juicy, flavourful segments, navel oranges are a favourite for snacking, juicing, and adding a burst of citrusy goodness to recipes.
