I have five reasons why you should consider adding them to your shopping list, but I also have a warning that you may need to consider. Both of these fruits are sometimes sold under the name “Halos” or “Cuties” in bags or boxes. Then, of course, we can’t forget our marmalades and marinades, which are often (wisely) created with the somewhat tart Seville orange.I’m often asked by people “What are some healthy snacks if I am on the go?” Unless the person has stomach issues such as acid reflux, among the choices I frequently recommend are clementines or fresh mandarin oranges. Blood oranges are recognized by the color of their insides, which are a beautiful red, making them a pretty addition in sangria and in fruit salads.Įver heard the saying, “Less is more”? Well, it can be with the lima orange which is virtually acid-free. Valencia oranges are known for their thin skins and tons of juice, which is why they are also very commonly used for juicing.

They are also loaded with juice, making them an excellent choice for juicing as well. Tangelos are easy to spot because they are the ones with the little bump.

Tangerines are a very sweet and very close cousin to clementine, and tangelos are a hybrid of tangerines and pomelos. Halos are too, although they are a little larger and slightly more acidic. Cuties, technically considered mandarins or clementines, are the perfect kid-sized, seedless snack. Sweet and delicious, navel oranges are great for snacking, as are easy-to-peel cuties and halos. Take the navel orange, for instance, known for its distinguishing indent that looks a bit like a belly button. Here in “The Sunshine State,” we tend to know our oranges.
