How to choose good, juicy oranges
- Good oranges will still have a stem; when touched, the stem feels tight and cannot be easily broken off by hand.
- Choose oranges with fresh skin; when touched, they feel smooth and shiny, and when lightly squeezed, essential oils will be released.
- It is advisable to choose oranges that are round and firm in hand. Additionally, pay attention to the bottom of the orange; if it is indented compared to the surrounding surface, that means it is a juicy orange.
