Heirloom Oranges??? (best, Washington, sale, fruit)

[oldhousegirl]

Has anyone tried these? Oh My Gosh!! They were on sale at Kroger 2/.99 cents this past week. I can almost say that they were the best piece of fruit I have ever had . Totally unexpected. I had to go back and get more. Highly recommend.

Are you talking about the Washington (Bahia) navel orange?

It is a naval, but it only says Heirloom. Has an oval football shaped sticker, dark background, orange print reads USA Heirloom Naval Oranges 3107.

Yeah, I believe those are Washington navels grown by Rising C Ranches.

Purely by accident. Late winter I start looking for Cara cara oranges, so I encounter other unique oranges/tangerines as well.

BTW - try some Cara cara oranges if you haven't already. They're pretty good too.
