How to choose delicious fresh yellow oranges
- Choose oranges that are evenly round in shape, firm to the touch, with the bottom of the fruit having a yellow color. When buying, you should inspect the orange’s stem; if it is indented compared to the surrounding surface, that indicates it is a juicy orange.
- Choose oranges with fresh skin, feeling smooth and shiny to the touch. When gently squeezed, essential oil should be released. At the same time, a good orange will still have its stem; when touched, the stem feels firmly attached and cannot be easily removed by hand.
- Avoid buying oranges with soft, wrinkled skin and dark brown spots, as these are usually not fresh and may show signs of being spoiled or rotten.
