Applications
Navel oranges are one the most popular, fresh-eating varieties. Sweet and easy-to-peel, they may be segmented and used as a salad ingredient or in baked goods. Pair with dried fruits, nuts, onions, olives, cheeses, fresh herbs, bananas and berries. Use juice and zest to flavor syrups, curds and doughs. Navel oranges will keep, refrigerated, for up to two weeks.
Geography/History
Locally grown, Garcia Organic Farms has been providing the marketplace with outstanding fruit since 1985. Two farming locations, more than one hundred varieties of premium quality fruit are produced on thirty acres of rich, fertile land. Family owned and operated, Armando Garcia oversees the fruit crops while his father conducts agricultural research to gather information to stay on the forefront of current and successful farming procedures. Three weeks before these tasty oranges are ready for harvest, Garcia Organic Farms stops watering the orange trees in order for the nurturing rays of the sun to develop optimum flavor in the citrus fruit. Watering during this final stage of growth would water down the orange's sweet flavor. Specialty Produce enthusiastically endorses and promotes our local growers and the California farming industry.
