Best types of oranges (taste, juice, Arizona, eat)

[fibonacci]

So I was really into my blood orange phase until I tried cara cara oranges. They have instantly skyrocketed to my most favorite type of orange. They're much less acidic and tart than a regular naval orange and are usually sweeter. The taste is also citrusy plus a hit of a berry or cherry flavor. I love Cara caras!

We have an orange that was discovered here in Jamaica called Ortanique...very sweet and seedy and sort of a combination between a Tangerine and Orange. It is my favourite...other than that I love a simple sweet Navel orange, I have an orange every day.

Cara Cara and blood oranges are the best IMHO. However Cara Cara are seasonal oranges, available only a short time in Winter.

Yes Cara Cara's are quite good.

However along those lines my favorite would be Minneola Tangelos which aren't really oranges.

Cara Cara, clementines and navel are the only one I eat.

I will take a good naval orange over any other kind. Of course I was raised in So Ca, almost in a complete Orange orchard. We also love tangelos. No, they are not oranges, but from a similar family.

I don't like navel oranges at all. My favorite "orange-type" citrus fruits are:

tangerine
tangelo
blood orange
valencia orange (my absolute favorite)

I squeeze all these in a manual plastic bowl-top juicer though, I don't really eat oranges much at all.

For segmented orangey citrus fruit, I prefer clementines.

I love me a good navel orange too As a child I use to tell my mom "I want the orange with all the little babies!" (referring to the small orange segments along the navel area) I love all citrus.

I guess we can see why food is so subjective; when someone says they can't stand Naval Oranges I wonder if they have really ever had one, but like I said, food is subjective.

Arizona Naval oranges...
