它是什么？

Navels, a member if the sweet orange family, is characterized by its thick skin and an embryonic fruit within the fruit. The flesh and juice of navels are delicious but can turn bitter when exposed to air, so these are best eaten out of hand, especially because they are seedless, or served soon after peeling. You can, however, use their zest to add a floral, citrusy accent to dishes. Their juice is also delicious for drinking or to use in mariandes, vinaigrettes, and sauces.

Kitchen math:

1 medium = 6 to 7 Tbs. juice and about 2 Tbs. lightly packed zest if grated on a rasp-style grater

没有吗？

You can substitute Valencias or any other sweet orange.

How to choose:

Navel oranges are generally in season from November through May. Choose oranges that feel heavy for their size (signaling they’re juicy) with a skin that does not feel loose.

How to store:

如果在室温下储存几天，橘子就可以了，但是它们的持续时间会更长，并且味道更好。
