Then, of course, we can’t forget our marmalades and marinades, which are often (wisely) created with the somewhat tart Seville orange. Blood oranges are recognized by the color of their insides, which are a beautiful red, making them a pretty addition in sangria and in fruit salads.Įver heard the saying, “Less is more”?

In general, your clementine tree will begin producing fruit within two to three years of planting, but some nurseries sell clementines that fruit the first year.

Start by peeling 8-10 Clementines and place them into a blender or a container and use a stick blender. They are also loaded with juice, making them an excellent choice for juicing as well. Tangelos are easy to spot because they are the ones with the little bump.

Tangerines are a very sweet and very close cousin to clementine, and tangelos are a hybrid of tangerines and pomelos. Halos are too, although they are a little larger and slightly more acidic. Cuties, technically considered mandarins or clementines, are the perfect kid-sized, seedless snack. Sweet and delicious, navel oranges are great for snacking, as are easy-to-peel cuties and halos. Take the navel orange, for instance, known for its distinguishing indent that looks a bit like a belly button.

Here in “The Sunshine State,” we tend to know our oranges.
