About Oranges, raw, California, valencias
Valencia oranges are a late-season variety grown primarily in California, prized for their high juice content and a flavor that balances sweetness with a bright, lively acidity. Carbohydrates are modest, fiber is solid from the segment membranes, and fat and protein are minimal. They are the standard for fresh-squeezed juice in part because of how much juice the fruit yields, but eating them whole preserves the fiber that juicing discards. The thin rind can be zested for cocktails, baked goods, and marinades. Peak season runs from spring into early summer.
