When you’re selecting oranges, have you ever noticed that some have a large, round navel while others only have a small dot? While it may seem like a minor detail, this difference can have a big impact on flavor, juiciness, and overall quality.
Below, we’ll explore exactly how large navel oranges and small navel oranges differ, plus share tips on how to pick the sweetest, juiciest fruits every time.
Large Navel vs. Small Navel Oranges
Large Navel Oranges
Have a big, round navel with a clear indentation in the middle
When cut open, you’ll notice a white membrane inside the navel, with few segments and mostly peel
Tend to have less juice and are often less sweet
The taste can be bland or slightly dry
Small Navel Oranges
Have only a small dot instead of a large navel
The peel is thinner and easier to remove
The fruit inside is juicier and sweeter
Segments are plump, with excellent flavor and higher water content
Tip: When buying oranges, look for small navels to get the best texture and sweetness.
