Valencia Orange

Valencia oranges are widely considered one of the best oranges for making fresh squeezed juice because they have the ideal balance of fragrant, sweet and tangy flavour, thin skin and a tonne of juice, so you get the most bang for your buck when making a fresh glass. You can even eat them raw if you watch out for the seeds.

STORAGE

Place freshly squeezed orange juice in a covered glass or plastic container in the refrigerator to extend its shelf life by several days. Fresh juice separates and must be mixed again before consumption. So when you are ready to drink the juice, simply remix it just before pouring.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

In addition to using the juicy pulp, you can also use the peel in baking, such as quick breads or muffins, to enhance the flavour of a meal. You can also use them all year round in any dish, from fruit salad to grilled salmon.
