Re: How many oranges / L. oj
From a different thread:
When the south african or cuban oranges are in season, they taste perfect.
The same goes for Valencia's etc.
Each area (South Africa, Europe, South America etc) has its own season, so that you can eat
oranges all year around, as you will shift from one specie to the other.
In general, each specie will be on the market for about 3 to 6 months,
but if you buy them 'early', they will not be ripe enough.
They taste best when they have ripened the longest, which is when they are (almost) about to disappear from the market.
The reason: they are from the same 'season' in the same area, but naturally they will not be ripe at exactly the same time.
So that when most of them are perfectly ripe, a great deal has already deteriorated.
And thats bad for the supplier, naturally, so he prefers to shift to the next specie (or area)
even though they are not ripe enough yet, so that he is sure that none of them have gone bad already.
So, enjoy these oranges as long as you still can...
What can you do about it?
Buy very large stocks, so that once they are gone from the market,
you still have them (even though a percentage will rot).

I've been told that navel sales are really "pushed" on the consumer (not sure why, maybe navels are more cosmetically appealing) and that valencias are, in fact, superior oranges. Anyhoo... my only point was that they seem juicier. I think I might actually like the taste more as well. Not sure yet though.
Oh yeah, the valencias were also $3 cheaper per case. Nice!
Iris wrote:Lately, we happen to pay attention to the sort of oranges we buy. Because now the more yellow South African oranges are sold alot here, which taste like lemonade.... Yuck! I really dislike the taste of them. So I now search for the dark orange Valencia's (from Spain/Greece) too. They taste perfect when they're ripe enough, and they're very juicy indeed
But I thought Valencia's are juice oranges, while navels are meant to eat(?) That might be the reason Valencia's are more juicy.
It really depends on the season.djkvan wrote:Yuck! I've had some bad times in the past with South African oranges (labelled "Midnight" usually). They were very deceptive to choose and tended to have little flavor and problems with dryness.
I, too, have heard that valencias are good juicing, while navels are good eating. Besides having seeds, the valencias seem to have tougher segment membranes.

Re: How many oranges / L. oj
I wonder whether oranges will cause ulcers in the mouth?
Re: How many oranges / L. oj
Hmm, still, I don't like oranges tasting like lemonade. When they're unripe, they taste like sour lemonade Later on, they are sweeter, but still far behind those delicious, perfect valencia's (and others maybe, I don't know).

Ah, ok, then i understand.Iris wrote:Hmm, still, I don't like oranges tasting like lemonade.
Actually, i love it. Nowadays we dont get cuban oranges here anymore,
but their juice tastes like (delicious) lemonade indeed.

Well, from the Wikipedia article on mouth ulcer.RRM wrote:Huh?Kookaburra wrote:I wonder whether oranges will cause ulcers in the mouth?

Acidic food such as citrus fruit may cause mouth ulcers.[12]
Re: How many oranges / L. oj
Thats when the oranges are not fully ripe.
The same goes for other fruits, including pineapple and kiwi.
Simply always make sure to eat only fruits that are fully ripe.

I bought some South-African valencia's today, but they taste really bad.It really depends on the season.

Do you know which oranges are the best at the moment ?
Re: How many oranges / L. oj
If you bought them today, they are most likely not ripe. Let them ripen for at least a week and they'll taste fine.
Re: How many oranges / L. oj
Should I ripe them outside or inside ?
I once read a story about riping them with some bananas nearby goes quicker, is this true ?

Ripening comes with deterioration of some of them, which attracts fruit-fliesKasper wrote:Should I ripe them outside or inside ?

Thats why i prefer to keep them outside...
Yes, its the gas expelled by the ripening bananas that evoke ripening of other fruits nearby.I once read a story about riping them with some bananas nearby goes quicker, is this true ?
It doesnt help ripening from the inside (of the orange), though.
Its usually applied to make the fruit look more ripe (on the outside); for commercial reasons.
Re: How many oranges / L. oj
Hmm, I never have that, but then the oranges only ripen for two weeks maximum. Also, when an orange is moldy, fruit flies aren't interested in it.RRM wrote:Ripening comes with deterioration of some of them, which attracts fruit-flies (drosophila), which multiply rapidly.
