Navel Oranges
Navel oranges are ripe from October through January in Florida. These oranges are almost perfectly round, have a bright skin and are typically peeled and eaten as snacks. Most varieties of navel oranges are seedless.
Valencia Oranges
Valencia oranges ripen later than navel oranges and are typically harvested in Florida between February and June. Valencia oranges are often used for their juice because many varieties have seeds and have a slightly green tinge to their skins, which makes them less appealing for peeling and eating.
Temple Oranges
Temple orange season in Florida overlaps with both navel and Valencia, with its harvest occurring from January through March. Temple oranges are ideal for eating because they are very easy to peel and break into sections and they have a sweet, juicy flavor.
