Over 400 orange types exist globally, many bred in the past century. They're a hybrid of Pomelo and Mandarin, often known as Sweet Oranges.
Navel oranges are well-liked for being rich in vitamin C, low in acid, and sweet. They're recognized by the small growth at the bottom, similar to a human navel.
Blood oranges have vibrant red flesh, smaller than navels but larger than tangerines. They blend orange and raspberry flavors, are easy to peel, immensely juicy, perfect for salads, and juicing.
Tangerines are smaller and sweeter than regular oranges, boasting easy-to-peel, thin skin. These oranges are recognized for their deep orange color, rich in vitamin C.
Oranges have low acid, known as "sweet" oranges, and lack strong flavor. They're not widely produced due to low acid that prevents spoilage, often eaten instead of juiced.
Mandarin oranges are smaller with loose skin, and offer a sweeter, less acidic taste. They're ideal snacks, easy to peel, nearly seedless, and popular in desserts.
