How to choose fresh, juicy oranges
Oranges that are usually used for juicing are typically sweet oranges or yellow oranges because these two types have a lot of juice, and the inner flesh is soft, making it easy to juice.
For sweet oranges:
- Shape: good sweet oranges usually have a round shape, not deformed, and are not uneven in size. The outer skin should still be fresh, and it is especially important to keep the leaf stem; when you gently touch the stem with your hand, it should not fall off.
- Color: be sure to choose sweet oranges that have a bright color, shiny green, with a slightly yellowish hue at the bottom.
- Weight: you should choose sweet oranges that are medium-sized, and when you pick them up, they should feel heavy.
For yellow oranges:
- Shape: the fruit usually has a round, balanced shape, and is not crooked. The tip is slightly protruding, with very little indentation, and the bottom of the fruit is slightly concave. In contrast, Chinese oranges have a very deep indentation and are somewhat flattened.
- Color: you should choose oranges that have a bright yellow-orange color, not too dark, and the outer skin should be slightly mottled, not overly smooth.
- Weight: yellow oranges are usually larger, and when you pick them up, they should feel heavy in proportion to their appearance.
