How do you pick a good seedless orange at the store? When are they in season? Lately, I get oranges where it is almost impossible to peel the skin off. Sometimes they are dried out at the tips of each slice. Help!
How do you pick a good orange?
The reason you have gotten weird oranges that just won't peel, etc. is because of the drought and hurricanes in florida the past year or so. Oranges are picked before they ripen fully. By the time they get to market they are fairly ripe. Get an orange with a little bit of give to the squeeze. This means that your orange is ripe and all juicy inside. Too firm of an orange means that it is not quite ripe yet. An orange with too much squeeze to it means it is over ripe and will probably be near the moldy side if you don't eat it within a day or so. To ripen fruit place them in a paper bag in the refrigerator or a few days. Don't forget them...and keep a close eye on them for mold, like they say one bad apple spoils the lot...well its true-one moldy orange will transfer mold to the others. If you do get a moldy one but the others are still ok, rinse them off as you eat them and remove the bad orange and change bowls/containers, or clean out the bin REALLY good!
Reply:Pick the heaviest orange, the heaviest the oranges are the more juice they have, and try to pick on the oranges that have thin skin rather that the thick and fluffy skin. Hope this help
