How to Pick the Juiciest Orange

  • Heavy for size: More weight = more juice. Pick up several and choose the heaviest.
  • Thin, tight skin: Thick, puffy skin means less flesh. Look for tight, smooth skin.
  • Colour is not a guide: Oranges are treated with ethylene gas to improve colour. A greenish patch doesn't mean underripe.
  • No soft spots: Any mushiness indicates internal decay.

Orange Nutrition

One medium orange (131g): 62 calories, 15g carbs, 3.1g fibre, vitamin C (93% DV), folate, thiamine and potassium. The white pith, often discarded, contains hesperidin — a flavonoid with blood pressure-lowering properties. Eat some of the pith.
