How to Choose the Sweetest Oranges: A Little Detail That People Overlook
Often, when choosing oranges in the store, buyers try to choose fruits that are perfectly smooth, without flaws, with shiny skin.
But this is not a guarantee that the citrus fruits will be sweet and tasty. There is one distinctive feature of these oranges, but it is not paid attention to.
We will tell you about one important detail that will help you choose the most delicious and sweet oranges.
In fact, the bright color of the fruit skin in the store is provided by the lighting.
Uniformity of color also does not indicate that the fruit is ripe, nor does smooth skin.
It is recommended to choose fruits that are firm, weighty and aromatic. They are guaranteed to be juicy.
In addition, you need to choose fruits that are round in shape, without dents or other damage.
It is advisable to pay attention to the “star” - the orange stalk.
If it is dense and greenish, then the fruit is fresh. But if it has turned brown, dried out or fallen off, then you have stale oranges in front of you.
And the fruit should not be hard, but rather moderately elastic.
Sign of sweet oranges
The sweetest fruits are those with the so-called “navel” at the base.
However, in order not to make a mistake when choosing citrus fruits, you need to focus on all the signs, and not just one of them.
