parodybot Posted January 18, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 18, 2017 That they did not fully ripen or that they did not get enough sun during their growth to develop enough sugars to satisfy your taste. Sunlight or the lack thereof is the main contributor to fruits sweetness. Drought or other environmental stress can also intensify or modify fruit flavors.

team scooter Posted January 18, 2017 Share #7 Posted January 18, 2017 Interesting you bring this up. The Mrs peeled a couple oranges for lunches this morning. The insides were pink and tasted like grapefruit. Whats up with that? Cross pollination? They looked like regular navel oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can almost always tell when you do it that way. NYC gets the same oranges that everyone else gets, probably. I have been eating a heroic amount of oranges, btw.

Although we don't have the local citrus groves we used to, SoCal is spoiled on the quality and price of our produce. I'm getting my oranges for $.99 a Lb and they are freaking tasty right now. The orange tree on my nightly dog walk has been picked clean (at least from the outside of the fence, the inside of the fence still is full?!?!?!) and I have no other freah orange hook ups. BTW eating an orange left on the tree to ripen is still far better than any store bought one. Here's what I look for when picking oranges: Is it orange? It should have good color. Is the skin smooth? I don't know why but good oranges always have smooth, not pocked skin. Is it heavy? An orange much lighter than the others is most likely dry and won't be as juicy. My wife sometimes give me sheot for taking several minutes to pick my oranges but I rarely get a bad one using those 3 simple rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share #11 Posted January 18, 2017 I have been buying small oranges, 4/$1. They are generally great, and a hell of a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted January 18, 2017 Share #15 Posted January 18, 2017 Fruit is picked so early, so it can be shipped. We end up losing the sun ripened taste. Tomatoes are a good sample of why eating foods locally taste so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to read up on this before we plant again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted January 18, 2017 Share #20 Posted January 18, 2017 1 hour ago, Randomguy said: I am guessing that tart oranges DO have more vitamin C than sweet oranges. ...why ? Mostly, the Vitamin C content is related to how long ago they were still on the tree. Vitamin C and Citrus Juices But look: Vitamin C decreases during the ripening process. Immature fruit has the highest levels. The position on the tree also affects vitamin C levels. Since sunlight exposure enhances vitamin C levels, fruit positioned on the outside of the tree and on the south side have higher levels. Shaded inside fruit has the lowest. So I guess if you care, you need to grow your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
