Valencia has the best flavor of American grown juice oranges. It is still seedy, but actually tastes like an orange. As a former Floridian, I refuse to eat Navels. All other (than Valencia) juice oranges are grown simply because they ripen in a different season and the juice factories should be kept in production year-round to get the best return on their hefty capital investment. Even so, at a factory I toured, they told me they kept a hefty supply of Valencia concentrate frozen for blending with the other seasonal oranges because otherwise the final product did not taste good. I would not be surprised if blood oranges also made decent but different juice, but "cosmetically fancy" oranges for fresh eating aren't grown much in FL (the humid, buggy climate makes fruit ugly, though the heat makes it sweeter). (Also, the original blood oranges came from North Africa--a dry climate--so are probably poorly adapted in FL.) California and the SW make pretty, though (in CA) not very sweet citrus for fresh sales. Florida (& Brazil) make ugly, but sweet & flavorful (given a decent cultivar) citrus for juice. Texas makes the best grapefruit--dunno why, maybe the soil.
Valencia Oranges have been touted as "the juicing orange," but there are many amazing tasting orange varieties in Florida. Also, from what I heard, most of the orange juice is just kept in concentrate form and then water added throughout the year. It's more than likely they just have a ton of Valencia concentrate that they just rehydrate, so you would have year old concentrate just hanging around.... how lovely. I'm looking to make some honeybell and tangerine juices this year.
Blood oranges are my favourite kind. I find the flavour quite deep, maybe a little earthy. I can practically _taste_ the antioxidants! One thing I like to do with regular orange juice is mix in cranberry juice, roughly two parts OJ to one part CJ. And I don't mean cranberry cocktail, either, but the actual sour juice with no sugar in it. The result is this gorgeous red-orange juice that is a nice simulation of blood orange.
The 'cocktail' is usually cranberry juice mixed with apple juice with sugar added. Plain cranberry juice is practically undrinkable, so I guess they don't really like putting their brand on that product. It's really hard to find.
You should try this new thing called a Ruby tango,it's a blood orange crossed with a Mandarin,and they have a more intense flavor than blood oranges,and the berry flavor is way more noticeable
yeah what you're tasting is the proanthocyanadins ( not sure on spelling) the protective pigmentation that gives blood orange and berries their color. Blood orange tastes like raspberries to me.
Whatever Cara Cara's origin is it apparently made itself, it wasn't deliberately created by anyone. The original Cara Cara tree was discovered in Venezuela in the 1970's. It may be a chance hybrid or a mutation but nobody is certain.
aw that's such a bummer! I developed a mild allergy to Pineapples (makes my mouth and tongue and throat burn and itch for hours-days) and I miss them a ton T_T
Have you tried eating cooked pineapple, tinned for example? There's a whole heap of things I can't eat raw but can eat after they've been cooked. Its something to do with secondary proteins.
It bugs me so much how few people know the pro orange eating method. If you bite and suck into the flesh like that, the strands get in your teeth and the juice gets on your face. Section the orange, grab the narrow corner opposite the stem facing side with your thumb and forefinger, peel a centimeter away from the flesh, lightly grab the flesh of the section with your teeth and pull the skin off with your thumb and forefinger. You remove all of the skin AND pith which normally remains in patches if you peel the orange whole and you get the entire flesh section in your mouth with none of the juice wasted on your face.
My husband likes Cara Cara, they are quite a bit more expensive, in our area, than the regular Navel oranges. I have seen blood oranges every now and then but my man won't even tough them because they "look weird". Big baby. LOL
Satsumas, tangerines, mandarins, clementines, are my favorites. I'm not sure if they technically qualify as oranges. To me they all belong in the same general family (taste-wise, not sure of genetic similarities/differences). I also like sweet kumquats and nearly ice cold sweet ruby grapefruit.
Missing the Temple orange, the best tasting orange in America imho. Used to be a very very popular orange in the 50s, 60s, 70s and into the 80s. Hard to find these days
I love oranges! I noticed that when you make juice from a navel, the juice is watery with little taste, but if you juice a Valencia, the juice is full of flavor. Eating the fruits, however, is a different experience, and it may have something to do with how the pulp is eaten or something like that...
Cara caras and grapefruits get their color from carotenoids like lycopene (what makes gac so red), but blood oranges get their color from anthocyanins like that of blueberries or purple corn. Very unusual in citrus and perhaps is responsible for some of that flavor. Oranges actually start out green when ripe, but when they get exposed to cold, their chlorophyll dies off and leaves the carotenoids behind, showing orange. They taste like a berry because they are berries :) (Hesperidium)
I like these videos where you rate the fruits coming into our markets! Sprouts markets had Cara Cara oranges on sale, so I got some of those . I was amazed at the flavor difference( I noticed a subtle flavor of ruby red grapefruit, without the bitterness). Would you review the new SunGold Kiwi fruits, and any of the other fruits you may think of? I love the Ambrosia apple, too!
In episode 271 jared reviews one of most rare, exotic, minding blowing fruits mother nature has to offer. The orange, only found in rare establishments called supermarkets!
I was very surprised by this video, apparently i've never in my life had the most common orange type! Never once have I had a seedless orange other than those little cuties. Valencia oranges are really common over here.
You gotta track down a Winged Lime (aka Blacktwig lime). It's essentially a yellow-skinned sweet lime that you eat like a satsuma. Super rare though. I have a small plant, but it's not big enough to fruit yet.
One to check out: when I was a kid, my dad and I would visit Libya occasionally to visit family. Along with have the sweetest, juiciest blood oranges I’ve ever had, there was also an orange that would sneak it’s way into fruit bowls. I believe it was called the Belladonna orange. It had a very pale color, almost like a lemon but was the sweetest orange I’ve ever had. Almost had like a honey flavor. Juicy as all hell. I’ve never been able to find it in the states and have had trouble even finding it online, so I might have the name wrong. Can you look into what this orange is? What it’s called if not the name I gave above? Do a review? Always wanted to find out what the hell I was eating all those years ago and maybe even find one if I knew where to procure. Love the channel, exotic fruit has always been an interest of mine.
Probably that orange called/is calling Meski or Succari, or Moghrabi, or Sikeri - different name of the same orange with lots of sugar and minimum amount of acidity. It tastes sweet long before fully ripe.
Interesting, I've never associated Blood Oranges with having a berry taste, but certainly a unique flavour, it makes great sorbets. but I'll have to keep that in mind next time. (I've heard this a few times now, and wondered if people maybe associate the taste with the colour, and simply think of berries)
Man im not usually into this type of vid, but urs has become my #2 possibly #1. I can almost feel eating these fruits with u. BTW i love all oranges and tangerines. Keep up the xcellent work!!!
Some of our favorite things to do is watch a movie and eat that food with the actors. It's super fun, like Soylent Green has a part in it , where they're macking out on apples , (they're hard to find in the future in the movie) Mmmm, so good! Another movie eats a beautiful dessert buffet and so do we!
It's funny we don't heve this first variety in Brazil. The most consumed orange in Brazil is called "pear orange". It has a really long shelf life, mostly because it's not very sweet and has fewer juice. It's also really cheap. Like 25 cents per pound or less.
We are so lucky to have a young blood orange tree in our yard. We waited until January to start eating the fruit and it was sweet and flavorful. People tend to make the mistake of thinking that if the tree fruit is orange in color it must be ready to eat. Don't pick them off the tree before January or even February to enjoy sweet citrus fruit.
when i was a lil kid i remember them calling the blood oranges the midnight orange around 89 at the port orchard stock amrket thatw as a great super market they were also first to sell star fruit in western washington state, oh the great memories i do one day plan on growing blood oranges in a green house oh definetely, love this video oh and cara cara oranges too the pink fleshed one new flavor profiles i love variety, especially mayer lemons and key limes also and honey pot oranges i saw on hsn one time i want to grow those super sweet ones also.
SCYTHE2525 +do not doubt. You sound like you live in California. If you live there, you can still be traditional! You can still be California, or Mexico'o, or gabacho, or whatever. Respect yourself and family and friends. If you are too upset, you can go pray. Maybe some little cricket or bird will come by and offer to help you.
Tangelos are very good as well. Sumo is the best you had there. Cara cara second, moro or navel third, Valencia or "juice," last (Valencia is a good orange too though these are all good oranges). golden nugget mandarin would have been number 2 after Sumo
These oranges that is exported made in Brazil normally is only exported. We stayed with the bad oranges of high scale production in supermarkets. Other types of oranges that we have normally sell in street fair. The best for my family here is called "Laranja Seleta" that you only find here in street fair, because mainly markets sell with this name, but is other species of oranges.
This year those moro oranges are very good. I've eaten about 20 so far and only found one bad one. It was not the fault of the orange, it just didn't ship very well. Also, finally, we begin to see those red bananas again, while they are in season.
Blood oranges, for me they remind me of raspberries in terms of flavor, like if you mixed raspberry and a naval orange. I love that tart berry flavor mixed with the citrus. Not super hard to peel, not super seedy. Easily my favorite fruit.
I love tangy oranges. My favorite kind was on a tree that grew in my backyard, I live in AZ. Idk what type of orange specifically, but we had a naval orange next to it that I never touched. I like that orange specifically for its tangy flavor, i feel like I can almost never get this out of the mandarins or navels. Like not as extreme as like a tangerine, but more tangy than sweet. It was completely round, not shaped like a tangelo or anything, and like a standard orange size. The flavor was much more pronounced or concentrated typically than store bought oranges. They were just my favorite though, i would often even go out in the middle of the night with a flashlight to get an orange.aybe its just the way oranges are grown commercially, but I have a really hard time finding a really good orange like this at the store and it kind of depresses me. They taste just so watery, flavorless, and hardly tangy to me, mostly sweet. Its nice to see this vid, since maybe I could try one of these varieties sometime. I'vs like just given up hope with finding a good consistent orange that I like at the store.
I believe it might habe been the servile orange, but I'm not sure. The peel was shiny snd vibrantly orange, a little smooth but not like heavily textured. The pods inside were very uniform, I always tpeel my citrus instead pf slicing it. The color inside was very orange as well, like they were never really like yellowish tinting at all. Very juicy, the peel wasn't think but it wasn't thin either and seemed to not peel quite as easy as navels. Idk
As a kid I used to be terrified of blood oranges because of the name and color made me believe they were made of blood or something, but now that I’m older I’d like to try them, they look so interesting!
Pineapple and Hamlin's are the top juice oranges. Pineapple is the best of the best. Sweet has seeds but all around oil from skin is really potent juice great hint of pineapple......hence name.
The various kinds of citrus fruits are a complicated three-way cross between pomelo, citron, and mandarin. For example, lemons are 20% pomelo, 30% mandarin, and 50 5citron. Check the Citrus entry on Wikipedia for details.
When did you get the Sumo? They've been out of season almost 3 months... It doesn't look like the Sumos I've seen (even in NYC), which are much rougher, have more air cavities, have a more pronounced "hat" and can easily be peeled and eaten as sections. TBH Sumos made me fall in love with citrus again because they were so incredibly tasty/easy to eat/seedless. I'd say over the last two winters I've purchased at least 40lbs of Sumos (Whole Foods Bryant Park had them on sale for $2.50/lb!)
thenamesaregone9 I’d bet this video was filmed a while ago. I think he has so many interesting fruit videos lined up there is a backlog! Looks like we’ll have to wait for he next citrus season to do our own tasting experiments! 😁
When i was in primary school we would be given fruit and milk every morning. I once ate a fruit that was very soft and juicy. It looked like a pear, but was red. Do you have any idea what it could have been? I live in the UK.
Between Blood Orange and Cara Cara, which one do you think has the most intense flavor? I'm building my Citrus Orchard, I already have the Navel Orange (it's young plant, already grafted, 1 yo) and I want a different variety but I can't decide between those two.
Here in Brasil we call the navel orange laranja baiana (baiana orange) and it's not the most consumed one. Unfortunately I don't know the name of the most common one, but we use the navel for juices
ALL HAIL THE HONEYBELL!" A few years back Florida was hit pretty hard by an invasive pest, I think I read it was some Asian Mosquito/fly, which I think was mentioned from Vietnam, but not sure. It seems the groves are doing much better these days, but who knows!
Your mixed juice is great. I once went to Jungle Jim's, II made a citrus salad. I should have made a mixed juice. bought one of each citrus fruits I think it was 8 or 10. Everything from varieties of oranges lemons limes grapefruits pomellos uglie fruit who knows what else i found.
Oranges are the greatest fruit Had many; Jack, Pineapple, dragonfruit, etc but oranges hit 2:01 the only people I trust who cut their oranges are parents doing it for their kids beside that, orange-cutters come off as serial killers
Comparison of citrus to banana monocultures is a false equivalent. Citrus have the rootstock that is genetically different and can be varied, where bananas are the same genetically top to bottom.
I'm eating a blood orange right now.They are the best.I use to take then to primary school and they contacted my mum to say I'm not allowed to take them as the children are scared of the red colour.jyst shows you their parents lived a shallow life.
I don't like the standard navel orange because it's not consistent. It can either be sweet and juicy or dry and pulpy or sour. Not much flavor either. The caracara is one of my favorite oranges as it is so consistent. It's juicy it's slightly bitter and I can sit down to eat for great big Cara Cara oranges cut into 8 pieces each. The blood oranges also lovely but not available very often and quite Floral. Some are blood red and some are streaky pink. Valencia oranges tend to be more sweet and of course full full of juice but you can't sit there and eat one you can but there are too many seeds to deal with for me. Japan is supposed to have the best fruits on the planet. They put so much work into the shape of the fruit and the size of the fruit that the flavor is lacking. I went to a place there where you could pay for 30 minutes to eat all of the strawberries that were still on the bushes. You couldn't take them home but you could eat as many as you could hold in 30 minutes. They were good strawberries really good strawberries but they were not the monstrosity strawberries. They were large but they were not sumo wrestlers! I like those glasses that you drink from. Where do you get them?
Do you happen to know the orange variety that is extremely large, and has very loose skin that's fun to peel.. usually the skin peels off in 2 giant pieces? Perhaps not too sweet, if I recall correctly? Would love to cross that with a Moro or Sanguinelli Blood Orange!
I love the flavor of Moro's too but in terms of ideal sweetness and acidity they aren't as good in my opinion as even some basic orange varieties like the navel.
Like your videos .tell number of seeds in orange .name of variety and origin is also important for fruit growers.cut the orange diagonally.it will open all the parts to get juice.thanks.Sohail A fruit grower from Pakistan.

i didn’t know that existed
Parfianka is the best

Cara cara oranges are by far the best orange I’ve ever had.
Cara cara is my favorite as well. It supposedly contains more vitamin C than other types of orange. I think that is why it tastes better.
@@_Painted I'd imagine that the Cara Cara has three times the C 🤣
I just finished eating one for the 1st time and I would absolutely agree with you. I got mines from Whole Foods.
They are amazing.
Cara Cara have consistently been my most favorite orange variant experience.
Whatever Cara Cara's origin is it apparently made itself, it wasn't deliberately created by anyone. The original Cara Cara tree was discovered in Venezuela in the 1970's. It may be a chance hybrid or a mutation but nobody is certain.
i love pomelo so fragrant i get them every winter the smell is so nice when you peel them or make a tea with the peel
its good stuff!

Blood oranges are so gorgeous. Lately I've been getting really spotty ones. Sometimes good, sometimes not. When they're good they're amazing
My mouth was watering all through this video. I miss oranges, they were my favourite "go to" fruit.
how come you miss them? Why don't you have them anymore?

I always did think Navel and Valencia oranges were underwhelming. Maybe I can find blood orange at the supermarket. Sort of doubt it.
Do some digging, you'll find them. In season, they're everywhere. Farmers markets are your best bet. I wish you the best in your citrus journeys!

Best navel oranges are BlueJay from Johnston farms in Californa. But only the ones from the original farm. Go visit them.
Tarocco oranges are by far my favourite. Their flesh is so silky and the sour-sweet balance is just perfect.
Wish I could send you some of our fabulous Sakura-jima ko-mikans. They are tiny and very sweet!

The pods inside were very uniform, I always tpeel my citrus instead pf slicing it. The color inside was very orange as well, like they were never really like yellowish tinting at all. Very juicy, the peel wasn't think but it wasn't thin either and seemed to not peel quite as easy as navels. Idk
As a kid I used to be terrified of blood oranges because of the name and color made me believe they were made of blood or something, but now that I’m older I’d like to try them, they look so interesting!
Cara cara is amazing tasting. Blood orange i wasn’t impressed.
preach it Brotha
You need to try valencia oranges in Valencia ;P.
Pineapple and Hamlin's are the top juice oranges. Pineapple is the best of the best. Sweet has seeds but all around oil from skin is really potent juice great hint of pineapple......hence name.
The various kinds of citrus fruits are a complicated three-way cross between pomelo, citron, and mandarin. For example, lemons are 20% pomelo, 30% mandarin, and 50
5citron. Check the Citrus entry on Wikipedia for details.
This would b fun if you had guests. A little orange tasting. Mmm..☺️
Thought he said "on a scale of 1-10, where 10 is 11" 😂😂
Valencia orange is a childhood favorite sweet sour and very orange flavored.
I highly recommend a Louisiana Satsuma. So sweet and they fall off the peel!
When did you get the Sumo? They've been out of season almost 3 months... It doesn't look like the Sumos I've seen (even in NYC), which are much rougher, have more air cavities, have a more pronounced "hat" and can easily be peeled and eaten as sections. TBH Sumos made me fall in love with citrus again because they were so incredibly tasty/easy to eat/seedless. I'd say over the last two winters I've purchased at least 40lbs of Sumos (Whole Foods Bryant Park had them on sale for $2.50/lb!)
thenamesaregone9 I’d bet this video was filmed a while ago. I think he has so many interesting fruit videos lined up there is a backlog! Looks like we’ll have to wait for he next citrus season to do our own tasting experiments! 😁
i filmed this months ago, at least October of 2017.
When i was in primary school we would be given fruit and milk every morning.
I once ate a fruit that was very soft and juicy. It looked like a pear, but was red.
Do you have any idea what it could have been? I live in the UK.
There are red pears.
@@mikecole1664 I know, but are there red pears in existence that are soft and juicy?
@@bluebowser3121 yes. I see them in the grocery store pretty much every pear season. Google is your friend.
@@mikecole1664 I was using google. The pear I had was about as juicy as a plum. The red pears on google don't match that.
@@bluebowser3121 I thought the red pears on google were juicy. Mine was as juicy as a plum. Just saying.
Between Blood Orange and Cara Cara, which one do you think has the most intense flavor? I'm building my Citrus Orchard, I already have the Navel Orange (it's young plant, already grafted, 1 yo) and I want a different variety but I can't decide between those two.
I see that lamb chop is back at his old shenanigans again.....😐
Here in Brasil we call the navel orange laranja baiana (baiana orange) and it's not the most consumed one. Unfortunately I don't know the name of the most common one, but we use the navel for juices
ALL HAIL THE HONEYBELL!"
A few years back Florida was hit pretty hard by an invasive pest, I think I read it was some Asian Mosquito/fly, which I think was mentioned from Vietnam, but not sure. It seems the groves are doing much better these days, but who knows!
Your mixed juice is great. I once went to Jungle Jim's, II made a citrus salad. I should have made a mixed juice. bought one of each citrus fruits I think it was 8 or 10. Everything from varieties of oranges lemons limes grapefruits pomellos uglie fruit who knows what else i found.
Is the music Boyd Rice?
Oranges are the greatest fruit
Had many; Jack, Pineapple, dragonfruit, etc
but oranges hit
2:01 the only people I trust who cut their oranges are parents doing it for their kids
beside that, orange-cutters come off as serial killers
Comparison of citrus to banana monocultures is a false equivalent. Citrus have the rootstock that is genetically different and can be varied, where bananas are the same genetically top to bottom.
I'm eating a blood orange right now.They are the best.I use to take then to primary school and they contacted my mum to say I'm not allowed to take them as the children are scared of the red colour.jyst shows you their parents lived a shallow life.
I don't like the standard navel orange because it's not consistent. It can either be sweet and juicy or dry and pulpy or sour. Not much flavor either. The caracara is one of my favorite oranges as it is so consistent. It's juicy it's slightly bitter and I can sit down to eat for great big Cara Cara oranges cut into 8 pieces each. The blood oranges also lovely but not available very often and quite Floral. Some are blood red and some are streaky pink. Valencia oranges tend to be more sweet and of course full full of juice but you can't sit there and eat one you can but there are too many seeds to deal with for me. Japan is supposed to have the best fruits on the planet. They put so much work into the shape of the fruit and the size of the fruit that the flavor is lacking. I went to a place there where you could pay for 30 minutes to eat all of the strawberries that were still on the bushes. You couldn't take them home but you could eat as many as you could hold in 30 minutes. They were good strawberries really good strawberries but they were not the monstrosity strawberries. They were large but they were not sumo wrestlers! I like those glasses that you drink from. Where do you get them?
Nagpur Orange 🍊 😍
That's gran Michelle banana 😂 you're welcome
Do you happen to know the orange variety that is extremely large, and has very loose skin that's fun to peel.. usually the skin peels off in 2 giant pieces? Perhaps not too sweet, if I recall correctly?
Would love to cross that with a Moro or Sanguinelli Blood Orange!
this maybe? th-cam.com/video/MyUgAmU0tb0/w-d-xo.html
Cara cara tastes like San Pellegrino
I absolutely love tangelos.
yeah they are awesome
The three times I've tasted Cara Cara oranges, they have been very sour. They're more grapefruit than orange.
i got lucky i guess :)
Mine were pretty sweet with undertones of ruby red, not bitter or too sour.
I had to look up this today because I just bought oranges and it was dark orange I just wanted to make sure that orange exist
😱 am i the only one freaking out about him cutting oranges instead of peeling and sectioning them?
Probably not, but with the internet you know others would freak out if I did it that way as well.
You should try raspberry orange
If blood orange is a mutation will you get one from growing a seed from it? Just wondering.
I like curaçao oranges.
I want oranges now :3
I love Cara Cara but my favorite are tangelos/ minneolas. I haven’t seen them in the store for a few years. Does anyone know what happened to them?
all of those are awesome but sumos and gold nugget mandarins are better
Love your channel and content! ❤ blood oranges are my favorite
I've had blood orange.
I know your probably on the road all the time but have you ever considered growing your own fruit?
I've tried growing things in my NYC apartment, doesn't really go over well.
"The man from Del Monte" "He say. . . Yeees.
Joking aside, Dude, you could totally land that job, you know that right?
We call them orange groves here in Central Florida.
@Ramen Lover he called them orchards
The way he pushes his glasses up reminds me of Ebisu from Naruto.
Can a very small, constant proportion of base pairs be artificially changed at random each generation?
I love the flavor of Moro's too but in terms of ideal sweetness and acidity they aren't as good in my opinion as even some basic orange varieties like the navel.
Navel oranges aren't popular. For many of us, it is the ONLY orange we find in our supermarkets.
Like your videos .tell number of seeds in orange .name of variety and origin is also important for fruit growers.cut the orange diagonally.it will open all the parts to get juice.thanks.Sohail A fruit grower from Pakistan.
I wonder if he's visited Shikoku, I guess I'll go look at his playlists...
